Digital Music sounds too bright?


If you feel your digital sound is too bright - I suggest you place a lightweight blanket over your tv screen or computer screen, if you have it placed between your main speakers. I did this and immediately heard a less edgy sound and improved separation between left and right channels.  I have a 55 inch screen between my mains (Tyler Acoustics). This easy and free tweak made a noticeable improvement for me. Hope it will for you too. 

(It makes complete sense that this will reduce some reflected sound. No one would ever recommend placing a mirror or window between main speakers, but a screen has the same effect. If you have a coffee table in front of you when listening, it also could reflect sound that undermines your speakers. Try covering it or moving it away).

@erik_squires I bet if you marketed an audiophile TV cover, made from artisanal Chilean wool and sewn into a special geometry based on quantum photon entanglement, they'd listen. But a blanket over the TV? That's far too easy just to test and, by God, it's a blanket, not a specially designed and manufactured audio product!
