Sometimes you have to change you


When listening to something you regard as not sounding good today but sounded great yesterday, you have to ask yourself is the problem with the source or with you?  Oftentimes when I’m in such a situation I have to recalibrate my ears to accept what’s playing.  In other words change my mind set. 
That often works.  
How about you?

I have experienced this many times over the years.  It usually centers around pace rather than tonality, timbre etc.

My remedy is to set the volume at zero and then put a 78 on my 1917 Victrola and crank it and listen to a few minutes (one side).

Going back to the main rig and all is well!  Self-deception can be a friend or a foe.
