I just played both the Thibaudet and Cho recordings briefly and notice what I would describe as increased reverb or sustain in the notes of the Thibaudet recording. I‘m probably not using the best descriptor, but it does have a sharper less rounded feel to the notes. The Cho is more pleasant...

Sound actually travels faster in humid air than dry air. Humid air is less dense.

Hi, Thank you for the info and the link. I know that Peltor makes good stuff. I really liked my Bose, so may just go with the Bose QC45 headphones. Amir’s review of the QC35s looked good.

Hi, I’ve been using Bose wireless noise canceling earbuds when using my tractor, chainsaw, etc. I really like having the music and I get less of a noise-induced temporary threshold shift in my hearing compared to high NRR ear muffs. Today I lost one bud while clearing a trail and can’t find...

I only skimmed the article, but as a published research scientist and peer reviewer my initial thoughts are: Peer review is far from perfect. But it is only one of many steps, and a very early one at that, for scientific findings to be accepted by peers. Reproducibility by other researchers...

Very Zen. Take a slab of stone and chip away everything that does not look like the Pietà.

I tried reading this, but it slammed me with syrupy undertones that left a screeching texture on my tubby palette. Learn the language of good sound Better understand the difference a hi-fi system can make https://www.crutchfield.com/learn/homeaudio/introguideexcerpt.html
