Sometimes ignorance is bliss....Why did music sound better went you were young, because then you just enjoyed it and didn't need people telling you .What the heck do you know...
ls music out of tune with our brains?
Sam here and the music i listen to no matter what the format including digital and vinyl always sounds like something is missing? like i'm at the grocery store hearing the music coming out of the ceiling speakers? l realize the #1 rule of thumb in audio is the more money you spend the closer you will get to audio nirvana yet were still chasing the sound which makes me wonder has anybody ever really achieved that sound and knew that there quest was finally over? lf i go to a forest in the middle of nowhere i hear the ambiant sounds of nature just like i hear music however there is a physical reaction that takes place in my body when i'm in the forest that does take place when i listen to music? The only conclusion i can draw from this is that the music is out of tune with our brains and if i retune the music to the same frequency as my brain i might achieve audio nirvana as the music harmonizes with my whole body and it appears that i was correct as i was able to reproduce the effect by retuning digital music to harmonize with my brain.

Analog or Digital Preamp and/or AMP? After many many years, I’m 70, I believe Analog: Tube Preamp and Tube Amps, LP’s and Reel to Reel tape sound best, I think, as simply as I can sum it up, because analog gets both the fundamentals and the overtones correctly, whereas Digital ... So, even though SS measures ’better’, even though tape, even prior to Dolby or DBX, has some noise, it is always preferred by me and anyone who hears my system. Your ’timing’ issue may be related. And, you may be more sensitive to this than others. Example: I designed office space for a living, and theory says people could not detect the flicker of fluorescent lighting. I learned over the years, especially desiginging custom lighting for the large editorial department at Fortune Magazine, that some people are sensitive, slightly or a lot in fact, while the majority are totally unaware of flicker. https://www.quora.com/Do-most-fluorescent-lights-actually-flicker-about-120-times-per-second |

Even the best sounding audio is only an illusion. l realize the #1 rule of thumb in audio is the more money you spend the closer you will get to audio nirvana ...I don't think anyone here has ever suggested that. |
