My "Cost Effective System Improvement" is totally without cost, but only to those who are regular wearers of eyeglasses. If you fall into this category, try this -------. Sit in your "sweet spot" and listen to your favorite music with your eyes closed. Midway in the piece, remove your glasses and hear the difference ! It always amazed me that audiophiles, who are conscious of every reflective surface in their listening room and spend thousands to adjust and regulate room acoustics, would wear a pair of "reflectors" only inches from their "receptors" ! Try it ! It's free, cost effective and a really big improvement !
Both Sennheiser and Neumann have developed head-shaped binaural microphones and neither of them come with an eyeglasses option ! I'm just sayin' !
