a crazy free audiophile tweak


i discovered this because I have a block middle ear tube in my right ear.

but, if you place your open palms just behind each of your ears, listening like this vs normally there is a huge significant sound quality improvement

not sure how practical this will be, but maybe someone can invent a pair of add on ear extenders---

funny as it sounds, try it!

Nonoise, I believe you are correct that the first one is for near field listening, and the second one is just for field listening.
Funny you mentioned this as I've fooled around with this as well. However, I've found that the sound is only better (with your hands cupped behind your ears) if your room is not properly treated or your system isn't set up optimally.

For me it makes the soundstage and imaging collapse.
If you put the WA-Quantum chips behind each ear this works equally - if not better - than the Ear Horns. Or, you can place them ON the Earn Horns for the ultimate in a Hi-Fidelity.
