SS OR TUBES? I HEAR TUBES
Yanni or Laurel?
Is this why some reviewers/audiophiles hear differences others can't?

I only hear Laurel and my wife only hears Yanni.

Yes, cleeds, my initial statement was not correct. How about, Our ability to hear differently can be misleading at times. BTW, it was just a lead in for the joke. I hear Yanni on the original clip, but can hear both on this clip with varing pitch shift. I would really worry if I couldn't hear both on it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LrWMFsz5VOg |
I have asked three folks at work today, and surprisingly two (one male and one female) hear a combination of each, while a third (male) only hears yanny. Cleeds - "I think that raises significant questions about our hobby, how valid listening tests should be conducted and even whether a scientifically valid listening test is even possible." Totally agree. Really supports the advice I see all the time on this and other forums of "trust your own ears - if it sounds good to you and you like it, that's what counts." |
