Hello!
I think everyone here know’s about people that can hear (often major) differences between “audiophile” switches, differences between stock and exotic speaker cables en interlinks, and let’s not forget the data cables.
I have a problem and question about that. And here’s why. Many people test stuff in their setup by listing to music first in the old situation. Let’s say at 85db. Then they turn off their equipment. They switch the component, and turn on their equipment and hit Play.
And then there’s the magical moment when they say is beter/worse than in the old situation.
Why a ‘Magical’ moment ? Well, when you listen to a fairly loud piece of music your ears habituate to the 85db, and when you switch off your equipment it’s (almost) completely quiet for one minute (minimal) and your ears habituate to that quite situation.
Then you hit play and the music hit your eardrums at 85db again. The music seems to go a lot louder because you were used to the silence. The hearing perspective has changed. How do you hear or remember the micro details of the old situation??
I tried many times but I can’t. Audio friends dito.
My question: Do I have a point?
