a crazy free audiophile tweak


i discovered this because I have a block middle ear tube in my right ear.

but, if you place your open palms just behind each of your ears, listening like this vs normally there is a huge significant sound quality improvement

not sure how practical this will be, but maybe someone can invent a pair of add on ear extenders---

funny as it sounds, try it!

Actually, I have tried it and I generally don't like it as it makes the sound a little too closed in and bright for me, but my speakers are very wide disperion and I prefer that open sound. As my system is changing and I'll be doing more nearfield listening that may change.

Onhwy 61 is right, Sam Telling did tout (actually, I think he was having some fun with us) a product like this and there was a picture of him wearing them, I believe they were called Serious Listeners, and they were ear-like extensions you put on your ears to make them bigger. Very funny looking things.
