Your Audio Quirks

Mag · « **on:** 5 Jun 2011, 08:45 pm »

What are your audio quirks?

I have two that I can think of:

1. At no time will I listen with the volume dial at 13, even if it's the correct volume for a song.

2. Can not have a bright light off to the side in peripheral vision.

Maybe you guys should put in a request to start a Nude Listening Circle.

This is a GREAT thread. Thanks for the laughts.

Listening in the nude? Audio is already a mistress. But listening in the nude? My wife is going to be asking some questions...

Given this, please do not post pictures in the Show Us Your Tubes thread

If there is a numerical display of volume level it must be set to a multiple of 5. I think I am not alone in this mild OCD?

Funny thread guys!

I tried that a couple of times but kept confusing the remote for you know what.... same length... same width...just a slightly different texture.

And extending that, the cable dressing (not to be confused with undressing to listen) has to be visually perfect.

I'm a very anti-superstition type of guy. I generally only care about sound quality and getting the sweet spot.

I have to listen in my black hooded robe and light my candelabras. Then I meditate on the "sound." And tap into the "soul" of audio.
