Technical and speculative discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Typical STC of walls of appartments built to the UBC is ...

45dB - but figure 35dB as a minimum and only about 20dB in the lower frequencies... The STC does not consider any frequencies below 100Hz.

But I consider ambient levels above 30 dBA in my listening room barely tolerable - It's the dynamics of the music that help me immerse into the performance.
