What about a person who suddenly, surprisingly, does something which gives an improvement in their sound - and is taken completely by surprise ???? When a person was NOT thinking "wire-is-wire, bits-are-bits, all-amplifiers-sound-the-same" ??? When a person was NOT getting up to tweak something in the system every few minutes ??? When something happened by chance ??

Great description, May.

That's how my laser tweak happened!

I never really thought that it could tweak the air in the room. It started out purely as a visual treat.

Of course, that "Aha!" moment lead to getting down to brass tacks about wavelenghts and the heavy lifting, but that first moment, as you say, was a bolt out of the blue.

"As evidenced by a recent review by Clement Perry in January 2009 issue of StereoTimes on a Schumann resonator device. To quote Clement :-
>>> "The song features Gary Bias on woodwinds, and though I've listened to this song many times over the years, Bias sounded as though he was blowing with more intensity - with more air - providing his instrument and this remarkable jazz recording, more life and vibrancy." <<<

And COULD this example have been due to listening at a slightly higher volume level than previous listens? Answer - yes.

You said it yourself, May ...

If someone is a Leveler - i.e "wire-is-wire, bits-are-bits, all-amplifiers-sound-the-same" then other people's experiences from various 'tweaks' are dismissed and NOT deigned suitable for discussion or consideration.

This lets them off the hook and no further thought is required if they've already decided everything is bullshit or placebo or stupid errors on the part of someone else.

It's a dishonesty they easily accept in themself by leveling the misdeed as "everyone does it". Watching US politics over the decades one thing I've learned is that when one party accuses the other of some nefarious deed, it's not unusual to find the accuser has been doing the same thing for years if not actually been involved in the invention of the deed.

For a good time call Judith Warner at the New York Times.

And to think just yesterday you said you'd take a bullet for me.

So you do intend to stick around for all 30 pages, eh?

Absolutely! If it reaches 30 pages I'll have been correct in at least one of my posts' and gain some "cred" in the process.
