Listen with your skin.

«It is better without skin»--A revived audiophile 😵

Thanks for the article....

My system is optimally set ... I listen music but as a hobby i begun reading about sound... Not only acoustic as when i tuned my room for a year non stop... No room anymore i use headphone ... Optimized headphone... I am done and did not search for upgrade even if they are possible for sure...

My new passion is thinking about sound and our perception of sound...

For example : most people think that sound is waves...

This is false...

i will not enter into details here... It is an example of what we can learn and the way it change our relation to sound and sound experience..

We hear with our body , then i am not surprized ...

my favorite citation to date :

“He who understands nothing but chemistry
does not truly understand chemistry either”
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg,

Lichtenberg is one of the most surprizing genius and a super gifted writer... And a scientific genius... and a dwarf...

Now imagine this :

“ With over a million essential moving parts, the
auditory receptor organ, or cochlea, is the most
complex mechanical apparatus in the human
body”
Hudspeth, A.J. 1985. The cellular basis of hearing: The biophysics of hair cells. Science

Do you think with those deluded "objectivist" for example who tought that few electrical measures on some component specs will make us able to predict how we perceive some musical sound qualities ?

😊

This one made us think ...

What is the acoustic of a piano ?

“. . . it is not surprising that it was possible to
put a man on the Moon before the acoustics of
a traditional instrument like the piano has been
thoroughly explained”
A. Askenfelt, in The Acoustics of the Piano,
Publ. of the Royal Swedish Academy of
Music, 1990.

Then your thread make perfect sense ....

Thanks again for this article...

The largest organ in your body is your skin and it happens to cover your ears all the way down to the eardrums. I can see how reverting to using your organs as originally intended can be a very positive attribute with better results than how you've been listening fully clothed. 

It's way too easy and tempting to pooh-pooh such a thought without thinking it through. It's the nature of our times. Think of how much better you feel walking barefoot on some cool patch of grass, stopping to scrunch your toes into it. Same thing. Nothing new age or hippy-dippy about it.

All the best,
