Another Free Tip That Yields Better Sound!

Cupping ears doesn’t work in a room that has been treated for acoustic anomalies. Where room dynamic range has been restored. Its a dynamic range issue. It"s also a volume issue. My first product was going to be Ortho Ears.

Been aware of the cupped ears results for decades. Also had in mind to develop a product, but as geoffkait stated, it's a mixed bag of results. Yes, the sound is louder, but I've observed it also affects other aspects such as soundstage. Ultimately, I decided I didn't care for the results. YMMV, as always...

I wear contacts during the day and glasses at night and have noticed I much prefer listening to my system with the contacts in. Its rather distracting when I have glasses on so it makes me wonder about this.

@toddverrone....

I listen naked, so I can feel the sound waves with my body hairs. Not free, though, because of bail

Nobody told you clothing is mandatory for in-store auditions?

I've posted the glasses thing a few years ago....its true.   Another thing is if you don't have carpet, put a small rug in front of each speaker.
