RadioShack Digital Sound Level meter

HiFi listening (and reviewing) seems to be a purely subjective matter: just plug in your ears and play, if you can. Now, this works fine for the casual listener, someone who, probably, isn’t reading this page 🙂
For serious audio nuts, die-hard tweakers and DIYers, some “tool” is strongly needed. Even an elementary one, that could help our ears to listen better.
For example, many friends have NO idea of how LOUD is a 100 dB sound or how low is a 40 Hz tone. I’ve heard stories of audiophiles who swear to shake their floor at insane listening levels with a diminutive 1,5 watts SET amplifier hooked up to a 87 dB/w/m sensitivity loudspeaker. Others swear they fight their worst enemies in the neighbourhood with bass frequencies as low as 30 Hz with a tiny 3 liters enclosure loudspeakers.
These stories (sad, but true stories, trust me) always drove me crazy and made me wonder if was there a way to make these guys understand which is the REAL thing. Keep reading.
