Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make!

Well hearing aids of course (if you need them and many don’t realize they do). I was diagnosed with asymmetrical hearing loss in my right ear over a year ago at only age 52. Entirely in the upper frequency. (As hearing loss per my ENT is almost always symmetrical, the protocol for this unusual diagnosis is a MRI brain scan to rule out a tumor; thank God everything was normal there).

Anyway, while expensive (partially covered by Insurance in most plans in the States), the different listening to music is in absolute terms startling. The proverbial veil is wayyyyy lifted particularly on lyrics but really the whole presentation is improved from the midrange thru to the top registers.

Keep this in mind before upgrading your electronics or speakers and perhaps instead upgrade the most critical precision instrument....your ears! I share this and if it helps one member on here, well that would be really great.

If you don’t get them from Costco yer overpaying.
My rich uncle went through 3 overpriced sets before he came to that conclusion.
Even if you don't have one near you, can save more than the membership.
Or wirh 2 weeks of gas in Hawaii.

@wallyaudioAll true. Costco or anywhere else.
Of course there is a human element involved. If you get an unsatisfactory one at least trial and return are painless.

The local reviewer here gives The Sound Of Metal on Amazon an A.
