Music levels

[Steve Albrecht <albrecht@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Don Cicchetti,
   Thanks for posting your explanation of threshold shift.  It is for
this reason I always wore earplugs when I went to a live concert.  My
remark about arriving at work 'stone deaf' was a bit of an exaggeration.
The primary point of that was how good the Acura/Bose system was.  I
guess I got a bit off the track.

>BUT, it sounds just as cool at 105db as 120db.

Actually, I believe I mentioned 98 dba as my preferred listening level
these days. That's well below the damage causing levels.  I have no
symptoms of tinnitus. I recommend earplugs because it prevents the
damage you mention, but still allows you to 'feel' the music in your
bones.

>this "rock n roll" attitude makes about as much sense as developing a >ritual wherin we pass radioactive materials around "for fun" and
>"cuz it's rock n roll mannnnn".... 

Sorry Don, you lost me on this.  What's your point?  I'm not stuck on
R&R, I really like the Blues a lot these days.  Is there any way you can
send a sample of your work?  Perhaps a MP3 file.  I'd love to hear your
work.  What's your style? Dickie Bets, Stevie Ray, B.B King, Gary Moore,
Muddy Waters?  

Thanks again DC
