I wonder when a record is mastered is the peak level 0db or just below it. Any B0b katz's here? Smile

Below depending on the mastering engineer as well as the material , I am going to say this will vary from -.2 db to -2.5db (apx peak limiting) from my experience. My advice is if you wish to see this in action do some CD ripping and check your peaks within an audio editor. Of course my all time favorite thing is to rip material a few decades old and compare that to a modern recording and you will be witness to 'The Loudness Wars'.
