I prefer listening in a darkened room for soundstage maximization. Like Elizabeth, I will listen intently whenever I get the chance,but for me the real magic happens when the instruments reveal themselves in a coherent way that appears to transcend the system that reproduces the performance.
listening in the dark?
Is listening in the dark better?
Scientific research shows that people in the dark can hear significantly better. Senses always ‘fight’ for the brain’s attention. By removing vision, the ears are given more processing power, as it were, to digest sound. As a result you hear more details, you experience a greater sense of space and a greater sense of 3D. A scientific study says: “Closing the eyes affects the style of attending to auditory stimuli by modifying the perceptual relationship with the environment without changing the stimulus itself.”
