Skin Orgasms caused by music .

Im taking a shower.

If this was not a regular occurrence, then why bother with music?

("Now listen and get high")

If this does not happen to you, then you’re doing it wrong. Wrong equipment, wrong direction, wrong mental emphasis, wrong understanding of what is going on and why it is done.. No fun = why bother. There would be no point. :)

Recent works show that music goes through the same part of the lizard brain as sex.

digital and class d artifacts prevent this from happening, for the most part. It causes a cerebral emphasis, which for music, is just plain wrong. Fixing these artifacts at the 0.0xx% level of distortion that they occur at, is everything. The whole freaking enchilada. Same for materials induced distortions.

This is tied to how the ear works ------ and has ~zero~ to do with accepted and normed methods of electrical/audio engineering distortion weighting and analysis. The ear does not use engineering methods of weighting in distortion analysis. That counter argument shows a lack of understanding of what the ear does with signal.

If the particular combination of audio devices is not causing your toes to curl, then GET RID OF IT.

The physical aspect in live music is almost always missing in reproduced, imo, no matter the cost of the system. Part of that is the spl at live shows featuring sound reinforcement, part is how much mid-bass is created by the venue itself.

Part of it is uncompressed and uncompromised dynamics and complex micro-shading, which operate as a set piece, with live instruments, and possibly with well done PA and acoustics.

This is what the ear desires to hear and can work with. The compression and loudness wars sucked the very soul out of music.

Ie, the music business simultaneously shot the goose and the messenger when they went into the loudness wars.

Part of the backlash of that, is the reintroduction of analog via LP.

I don’t imagine you can can recreate a rock concert at home , but then I’ve never been to one .
I have been to several thousand classical concerts and with the best CD’s,
from firms like BIS and harmonia mundi(france) , you can come damn close .
Fact, a large amount of what you "hear" is memories of what you have heard live thrown by brain into mix .

That’s why a 90 yr conductor who can’t hear 4K on a hearing test can correct a Musician playing a boo-boo at 10K .

Extreme Compression was/ is? an effort to make sure the radio dial went no further when air-time was the main thing
that sold rock/pop recordings .
