Glasses on, or glasses off...?

[Hoerninger]

When you can hear a difference than it is your result, when you hear nothing it is of equal value.

Todd has described how to perform testing. When I say I have to look to the speaker it was meant to turn the head in that direction.

As said for me it is a very subtle effect. With normal music I do not notice it. For testing I took hiss from left or right. (Telarc 1812 SACD has some tracks.)

As said I do not care as I live with my glasses. Or should I consider to go for a plastic surgery to model my head for ideal refraction whatever this will be?

I think we are living with our heads the way they are.

Perhaps we could have our glasses constructed from oxygen free wire.

Perhaps we could have our glasses constructed from oxygen free wire.

This could be a rare case where you would want thinner rather than thicker wire too.

Yes! that would be fun!Imagine all the members in our local "lydlaug" (translate, some sort of club with sound and hi-fi interests. (And other interests too)), coming at our monthly meeting, and is ordered to listen in the nude!

C'mon guys - pictures of naked speakers or big folded horns is one thing- I enjoyed that recent picture of a Walsh F under the covers!
Woohoo - speaker p0rn!

But please, although I am SURE they are nice guys, please,
no pictures of naked norwegians (or anyone else) laying together under the audioshelves

naked listening is best done at home with a loved one (or 2) ...

Naked listening now playing on this beach!

If you mean females ... -sure ... They are welcome. But they are normally not at home when we have our meetings. They have made something that we can eat, then shosoooo out of the house for us maniacs ...I am sure that my wife will not listen to music nude in front of others.

Thank Heavens for this thread !!!!

I was listening to the system yesterday and you know, winter is coming - the toes were getting a little cold.
So I got some socks and covered my feet

Immediately noticed about a 3db. drop in the 5Khz mids , vocals seemed thin, I thot "damn, TD is right about those terrible mids, what am I TO DO ??"

Then I remembered this thread, "glasses diffract - carpet/curtains/clothes absorb" , took off the sox and mids came right back. WHEW !!! THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE.

With the help of some psychoactive non-prescription medicine one might also like to see the music as well, and for that one may be needing glasses...the better to see the music with

Moin Peter,

Exactly. Just like the classic Ray Charles/Stevie Wonder head roll. They wear (wore) specs... big ones. Plenty of (p)early reflections from the teeth too.

Talk about your double blind test...

Gotta go strap in now to prepare for the sligshot effect as I pass this relatively lifeless void.
