Hey!
Ok, so this is something I experience, and I never seem to hear anyone else talk about it the way I feel it. So I just wondered if you guys every go/went through something like that.
In a way, unless the music is coming from a really poor device, I never spontaneously think "damn, that sounds bad". I have to pay attention to realize it doesn't sound great. But then, if I hear the music on a proper system, I spontaneously think "damn! that sounds good". I don't have to focus to realize it. You know?
When I use my bluetooth headphones in the street, sometimes my mind goes "damn that sounds good! did you really need to spend money on a better headphone for home?" and then I get home, put on my headphone and I'm like "oh ok, no, THAT sounds great".
It's like I only spontaneously experience the upgrade in quality.
And so it's like: every time I turn on my system, I'm (happily) surprised. Every single time. I'm always like a "woaw I didn't know that type of quality was possible!" type of a reaction. But I rarely catch myself thinking the other way around. You know what I'm saying?
Is it the same for you? Or, if you happen to be at a friend's who's not so much into audio, and one of your beloved tracks is played, you can't help yourself but think "arf... this is a poor reproduction"?
I wonder if it's not just the enthusiasm for the music itself that masks the flaws...
