Principally because vision takes up a lot more of your brain's 'processing power' than hearing. One reason I always spend some time testing the sound quality of AV receivers with the picture turned off.

even better with the grado sr60's on

Somehow it just does.

 

[Anonymous]

It does; I agree

Love it when listeing to my other system and maybe whilst the wifes reading and some candles on; love watching the flickering light off my RX2's mid/bass driver cone

You are, without a doubt right. To expand on that, a fresh pot of coffee percolating in the next room tops it off for me.

eyes closed is definitely the key. nothing for the brain to process visually. just listened to Adele bbc1 studio sessions with me eyes closed - golly gosh, great god almighty and hallelujah

TV is also alot better with eyes closed.

Couldn't agree more - you never hear moles complain about their hi-fis?

Indeed it does. and black amplifiers sound much. much better than silver ones........

yep..... but you can hear the clicks and pops on the vinyl more clearly as well

oh yeah ; and you trip over things when you get up to change sides....

I play in a couple of bands and have the nice job of playing bass and quite often stand at the back with my eyes closed getting into what the other guys are playing... We have just finished putting an album together and I am looking forward to playing it loud in the dark with my eyes shut, just have to wait for the fat moany bloke next door to not be in..

Sack the coffee a good red in hand enhances the sound no end,

In all seriousness The less stimulation your brain has to cope with the more it can focus on the task at hand. That's why lots of people bite their tongue when thinking hard. Brain doesn't have to compute what the tongue (full of nerve endings) is doing.

I read that late night listening is improved by a 'cleaner' electrical power supply also...not entirely sure this is the reason but to me anyway, you can't beat a late night session with the lights dimmed...and when I used to drink, a nice glass (or three) of red wine...

Funny, that since I stopped drinking, the late night sessions don't happen nearly as often...and I don't get up in the morning with CD's scattered all over the living room floor !!??

I agree also. Just being able to sit down and listen to 'my' music is a godsend. I'm sure like a lot of parents on here, during the day I have to be careful which tracks I choose because of lyrical content.

When I lived at home we had no central heating. I sure my system sounded more refined and tighter on a cold Winters night. Might have just been me. By it was cold in my bedroom sometimes. Sat there with a duvet around me playing on the Megadrive.

That's the beauty of death metal..... Nobody can understand a word they're growling about.

Totally agree, nusic sounds awsome with eyes closed but I always fall asleep if I do that even if I have my grados up loud and I'm 27! So I just turn the lights off and stare into darkness.

simon3102000:and stare into darkness.

I think I've spent the last 15 years doing that...

 

[Andrew Everard]

When you stare into the abyss...
