Dear All,I am unfortunately slowly losing my hearing due to a hereditary problem. My love music is undiminished as I get older (I am now 52) but it seems that I need to listen to it at much lower levels than I have in the past in order to keep from accelerating my hearing loss.
I seem to need to go to the 72-78 Db levels to keep my ears from ringing badly.
What is the optimum setup to get the most detail out of the lowest Decible levels? Would it be something like highly eficient speakers with a SET tube amplifier like a 2A3 or 45?
Any specific recommendations will be greatly appreciated!!

- 72-78dB is not low. But more definition comes from sitting closer to any speakers - Richard BassNut Greene 07:39:14 05/08/06 (0)
