Whole new world


Listening to Dexter Gordon One Flight Up to enjoy a relaxing Sunday evening. Playing at moderate volume and for whatever reason decided to cup my hands behind my ears. OMG. I know we all obviously hear more when doing this but the difference was startling. Sounds like a blanket has been taken off the speakers and Dexter is in the room. Problem is I thought he was before but now I can’t get over the difference. Makes me feel sad that my hearing is that bad. I’m only 48.

 

I’m sure many if not most of us have tried this. What say you?

I think the same effect is obtained regardless of your hearing level. 😃👍

 

Ok, now for a challenge. Quite few years ago someone in the audiophile community suggested you need to remove your glasses when listening. I think I remember doing it an noting a small different.
