carlyleciv OP @gano I have come to learn that this is simply a process of acclamation and trial and error.
1) Everyone here (and world) are listening noisy, veiled, bright sound audio systems, except me. They've heard these sounds all their lives. Your trial and error learning process will be similar to those people that it will be merry-go-round upgrades which takes much money, effort, and time. It can be fun some times but won't be fun more times when you are disappointed with your upgrades. Remember this. No one succeeded and satisfied and done with audio upgrade.
2) Why almost all women don't like their husbands' audio sounds? It's because non-a'philes (women) don't have the listening technique which converts all-around distortion noise to the all-around the listener sound, so called "immersive sound". Immersive sound is known as the best way to listen hi-end audio. I've always enjoyed imm sound before I have my current natural sound system.
3) There are different ways to achieve the immersive sound hearing mode such as dilating pupils, watching hard (like eyes out) between spkrs to be sucked into noisy sounds, changing to blur eye vision, disconnecting nerve between eras and brain, etc. This is very hard to do and a'philes fall asleep in few minutes in immersive sound.
4) Bad audio sound (immersive sound) is health hazard. I don't like to do IS anymore since I have the natural sound system. But I have to do it to hear audio sounds (in car radio, in church, speakers everywhere). It's bad feeling and it actually hurt my eyes and ears physically. And I believe the bad audio sound is one of reasons for more Tinnitus, watery constant dilated eyes, itch ears, dementia, etc.
Natural sound wan't avail before and people had to hear un-natural audio sounds all their lives. Now the natural sound is avail and you OP can choose a different audio journey from others. Alex/Wavetouch audio
