Is it me or new audio gear is too perfect and give ear fatigue?
Since getting back into the hobby during covid I’ve really enjoyed listening to music vs. bluetooth low quality speakers. Since listening to my Nautilus 803 speakers with old Yamaha Amps (MX1, MX1000) they’ve been sweet sounding and warm.
A lot of people have said the new equipment is near perfect chasing specs, sounding bright and causing ear fatigue.
Curious if people feel the same?
@wturkey Don't agree. If the set-up has a near flat frequency response and low distortion then...............'it's you'. Could be something mechanical in your ears - both ears?? - or your state of mind/mood at the time of listening. Our brain responses to music vary according to psychological factors. That's why it's not sensible to judge system sound changes without applying blind testing to weed out the merely psychological. |
