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?

I have 3 systems, all of which couldn’t be more different from the others. Yet I’ve never experienced fatigue.

I agree. Most modern gear today sounds awful. 😬 It looks ugly and is very expensive. Buy vintage if you can.
