The Difficulties in Component "Shootouts"
@chayro My experience is pretty much consistent with yours. If there’s a real difference in sound associated with a new piece - wire or component - it’s most evident to me in the first few seconds of listening after making the change. The new/different does seem to become less evident with longer exposure, yet, somewhat paradoxically, longer exposure is often needed to decide if "different" is actually "better". Tidal vs Spotify serves as a convenient example. Spend a few hours listening to Tidal then switch to Spotify (both via their premium offerings and each through the same system). Spotify initially sounds kinda murky. Listen longer to Spotify, and it doesn’t seem that bad....tolerable for sure. In this example, however, it doesn’t take much exposure time at all to decide sound quality from Tidal is not just different but better. |
If they say otherwise, they probably don’t know what they are talking about. Good posts, @teo_audio Additionally, On temporal lags and reconstruction... https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/time-on-the-brain-how-you-are-always-living-in-the... |
My hearing is hard to quantify unlike herring which, clearly, is a fish. I've been hired to work at a concert later this month where the performers are using all their own stuff but the concert producer doesn't trust them. Consequently, my job seem to be to oversee or something, and I'm getting my normal excessive fee so it should be a great gig...I can get drunk! |
