This ever happen to you?


First let me say, there were no drugs involved in this one.

I was listening to my tuner (old marantz solid state 20/20) on acoustat model 3s. i dont know what song was playing but it was in the alternative trance genre w/ lyrics. my right ear felt like it was connected to the speaker by a tube directly into my eardrum. it sounded exactly like i had one side of a pair of etymotics in my ear. the sound was totally divorced from the speaker and seemed to be coming out of a little tiny speaker situated right in my eardrum. the detail was perfect and the tone of the music seemed almost unreal and lush but with a slight humming (or vibrating) and absolutely personal. even when i moved my head a little it still felt like the sound was right in my right ear. this wasn't happening with my left ear. were there some sort of odd harmonics at work? was this an intentional mixing trick?

WTH?

Whatever you do, don't brush your teeth or floss at this point as it may disturb the vibes. If you are right handed then this explains beyond a doubt why the left ear is not with the program.
OK: Here's what you do. Go to Beverly Hills (you will need a good Ears, N & T and your CA insurance will most likely cover it), have your ears reversed (they will probably have to put them on backwards, but this will aid in the double blind test, so don't sweat it). If this is a real phenomena, then your left ear (not your right) will trick out. Then, we'll go from there.
Kubla: Whatever you do, don't touch the cabling. The ear "thing" is a much safer route.
