[QUOTE="adie, post: 1116450, member: 2428"] [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuv1LbV6iEo']Steve Guttenberg's take on volume levels[/URL] [USER=1210]@DeonC[/USER] - I listened to various incarnations of Rodney's system. I recall discussing volume levels- and him wondering how Joel could properly review components because he listened at such low levels. In my experience, if it's uncomfortable at loud levels, it's the gear.... or your mood. Really good gear just doesn't hurt your ears at 90db or so. My own habits vary, but never very soft, unless I'm doing something else that requires concentration. And, because I can- and get a kick out of it- hitting 100db for tracks like the 1812 Overture to just about smell the live cannons is a must from time to time. Otherwise, averaging about 76db, peaking around 88db is just fine, but not more than 10db less. [/QUOTE]
