A day in the life of an audiophile

I do not know what kind of speakers ice cream truck uses (horn?) but after about 10 minutes I couldn’t take it and had to put in some ear plugs. It was painful.

Even 50 meters away with ear plugs sound was so loud and clear it was like not wearing them at all.

We could use some of that slowness in Silicon Valley.

I get what you are saying. You may want to read up about the hearing condition known as hyperacusis. I could be their poster boy. Example: having to wear hearing attenuators or just basic ear plugs just to unload the dishwasher.

@mwh777 . What is the spl level you handle w.r.t artists you enjoy listening to?

I have been involved in construction for a long time, pneumatic hammer drills are bliss, even low flying Jumbo Jets are as well, when compared to the F15 - F35 Fighter Jets doing their After Burner thing at the not too Distant Airbase.

Waiting in at the dollar tree,wondering if I shut my tube amps off and the lady in front of me has a full cart ,then she wants 10 balloons. Really.
