“@kevn  - I have a couple of tracks I listen to for mids....” - perkriThanks so much for your reply, perkri : ) miijostyn, I didn’t actually describe anything, but was just asking perkri for a few more tracks he uses for his critical listening mom... 
The Absurdity of it All
‘Sibilance is a useful one. Nina Simone has a certain way of presenting sssss's. And for whatever reason, when recorded this part of her singing can get quite shrill when played back. I listen for how much clarity there is in those parts.When list... 
The Absurdity of it All
hilde45/perkri - "perkri, I really enjoyed reading your list of tweaks and the rationales for each of them! I'm still learning, so can you tell me how you listen to each tweak to determine what difference it's made and whether that tweak is workin... 
3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive???
“Measurements all aim at laboratory standards, royally ignoring the requirements of psychoacoustics. That is, we do not measure sound quality as perceived by the human brain. We measure reliability.” - realworldaudioThanks so much for this! It bri... 
Why do people care what their speaker wants?
Millercarbon, perhaps its only because many audiophiles with way less experience than you either do not realise, or do, that there are so many different ways for speakers to sound, and no single speaker or system will be able to playback every kin... 
Any way to listen to wav or high bit files with anything approaching audiophile sound?
Hello soulgoober, I began my audiophile search just over a year ago, and I’ve found that the thing which lifts sound quality almost more than anything else is the quality of power that is coming into your system from the grid itself, regardless of... 
A deeper more holographic soundstage.
Thanks mahgister : ) - I also forgot to say in my comment that it may be many things that contribute to good depth in the sound, but perhaps not as many as I originally believed. So long as a better than average amplifier and speaker system is bei... 
A deeper more holographic soundstage.
Hi there roxy1927 - i am pretty new as an audiophile, and with all the responses youve already received, perhaps mine wont make much of a difference. But in any case, in the past year and a half that ive been using more of my ears than i ever had ... 
How old are you?

The psychological factor
I love using my ears rather than my eyes : ) 
The psychological factor
I was kidding! 🤣 
The psychological factor
My amp has no numbers or markings on its volume control and it drives me crazy trying to figure out what volume I’m on - it’s frustrating beyond belief. It Is the best sounding and most balanced amp I have ever had, but I’m so sick of using my ear... 
the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings
thanks for that, terraplane8bob, was a great read : ) 
What is missing here?
Hey daveyf, thanks for your question - well, first off, I read to the very end of every review for information I might have missed, or that could tell me everything I might need to know about the equipment in question. And I would find the specifi...
