I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You???

Tiring of listening, fatigue, and headache are all symptoms of a problem in your system. High frequency hash and distortion causes these problems.  Old or inexpensive digital or solid state cause these problems. These are obvious  symptoms of a serious problem. I recommend approaching it as a problem, and not living with it. I have experienced it in the past and once gone, it is absolutely wonderful.

I can listen to my system (digital or analog) for hours and have to pull myself away. The moment I turn on my system I fall into its comforting quiet and bathed in warm beckoning music. Never jacked up or on edge because of it.  So many system strive for pulling out detail that they end up with all sorts of harsh artifacts that while not easily heard destroy the comfort of the listener. 

I'll have to listen to it tonight...later.

I have upgraded my system to include an Esoteric K03XD CD player. At the same time I bought a LED Zeppelin III CD that I vetted on Dr Loudness-War to have the best dynamic range. I can hear the squeak, but barely. I have a copy of the Mothership CD with much less dynamic range and in that version the squeak is prominent . So much so that it sounds like they pulled it forward in this version.

I think the squeek was in my hearing aid....Overload....Buy a boat and get a new hobby

John Bonham was famous for using Ludwig's SpeedKing bass drum pedal with tightened spring tension. This pedal has been nicknamed the "Squeak King" because of the large amounts of squeaking it produced which can be clearly heard on many Led Zeppelin songs..
