We may have found the ultimate dB conversion table:

which can then be printed out in landscape format "for that blank spot on
the lab wall" as Rolf put it.
The only danger here is the feeling that we're left with a conversion of an
understandable ratio to some mysterious number called dB.
One ultimate advantage of dB measurements is that successive stages of
attenuation and gains can be simply added (easier than multiplying)
