I'm with Dekay on this one. I believe that vision distracts from full aural concentration. I have a blind friend who lost his sight at age 20, and he says that his hearing is far more acute than when he was sighted. I love listening to music late in the evening, lights very low or out, glasses off (do all audiophiles wear glasses?) -- but my La-Z-boy has cloth upholstery, not leather, so clothing is optional. Any other "audio-a-buffo-philes" out there?
Close your eyes and hear the music ?
It seems like music sounds better when I close my eyes. Some people claim that it sounds better with their glasses on. Someone once told me that if someone suggested that music sounded better in the nude that a large group of audiophiles would swear to it! What makes music better for you ?
