Best audio tweak ever, especially for the over 60s

Get your ears dewaxed at least once a year. After I had the procedure I had to wind back the volume on my amp and iPhone by about 30%. Detail improvement was also incredible. Much cheaper than a $5000 DAC.

Mostly sold for swimmer's ear, but can be repurposed here so you don't have to use Q-tips and risk eardrum damage. There are also simple lavage pumps/syringes to facilitate the process. Haven't tried one of those.

They even come in audiophile packaging for extra slam. https://eargasmearplugs.com/

Even better hire a Feng Shui consultant to straighten out your living space. Feel better. Hear better. Have you seen that video of Michael Fremer's listening space? He's doomed by this standard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H07NpWk_Xf8
