RE: An interesting experiemnt...

BTW, if you're into choral or opera music, like piano these are the most tortuous types of music to sufficiently play back at live performance volumes. The universal distortions embedded in every system will cause a break up and/or flattening out, again causing the listener to whince or the proverbial ear bleed.

But again, if you attempt to listen for these things, you have to listen at volume levels approaching the live performance. Say in the 88 - 98db range. As nothing in the 60-65 db range will cause these issues.

If you're struggling to find music to listen to, I might have a CD around here that I burned (redbook format) I could mail to you with some excellent examples of the fatigue/ear bleeding I'm trying to describe.
