a crazy free audiophile tweak


i discovered this because I have a block middle ear tube in my right ear.

but, if you place your open palms just behind each of your ears, listening like this vs normally there is a huge significant sound quality improvement

not sure how practical this will be, but maybe someone can invent a pair of add on ear extenders---

funny as it sounds, try it!

It might be easier to just move your speakers so one is facing each ear. You know, like your head is the meat of a sandwich.
TLS49, ROFL...That's just waaay too funny.
Hope my wife doesn't see those, as she'll probably try to get them for my birthday. Last year it was this neatly wrapped present of river rocks after she saw the Machina Dynamica pebbles ads and laughed her head off. My audiophilia gets NO respect here.
Actually, I have tried it and I generally don't like it as it makes the sound a little too closed in and bright for me, but my speakers are very wide disperion and I prefer that open sound. As my system is changing and I'll be doing more nearfield listening that may change.

Onhwy 61 is right, Sam Telling did tout (actually, I think he was having some fun with us) a product like this and there was a picture of him wearing them, I believe they were called Serious Listeners, and they were ear-like extensions you put on your ears to make them bigger. Very funny looking things.
If you have a stiff dinner matt, and a high back listening chair,place the matt behind your head positioned so it comes above your ears ,sit back and be amazed ....no sh-- !
@Tls49, you know. When i read the topic, the first image in
your post came to mind. Funny
