It's raining cats and dogs

Someone noted in a recent thread that his cat becomes aware when he(not the cat) feels his system is sounding good and jumps in his lap. Well I have a similar experience. We have two cats. The female jumps in my lap when I tweak it and it's correct. My focus is channel balance. After a correct adjustment she'll run up, jump in my lap and face the speakers contentedly. They have good hearing so it makes sense they'd be able to tell. It's uncanny though, that she'd be willing to repeatedly confirm it. I also have a Chihuahua that confirms the same thing. But he does it by freaking out and running to hide in the bedroom. Anyone out there have similar experiences? Go ahead and get spiritual.

End of times. Signs and Wonders.

In all seriousness, I can see cats and dogs getting to know their masters well enough to identify with their wants and needs to the point of mimicking their desires and appreciations.

Just as we learn the ins and outs of our hobbies, so can animals as they bond with us.

All the best,

When I finally got my Maggie MG12's in the sweet spot (i.e. far enough away from the front wall), my cat immediately heard it and was looking for the source of the sound all along the front wall and behind my equipment rack. Until I got them placed correctly, she showed no interest in the sound.

My neighbour's dog barks when I crank it up.

One of our cats is on my lap quite often when listening and it's funny to watch her ears trying to detect where the sounds are coming from when I play one of the discs recorded with Q sound. Her head and ears are every which way at once.

Maybe you can loan them out to some of the people I run into who absoultely swear that there is no difference in sound between......(insert your favorite controversy here).
