Audio Revelation - A shirt, nudity, and a fluffy pillow

Well I came home and needed to listen to something to pick me up after being beaten down by the man for the last 11 hours.

I put Luka Bloom on the CD player and twisted up the volume knob. It's also my reference CD when tweaking my system. I like the mids, highs and the lows are appropriate for my system. I'm in my listening chair and just starting to relax when I realize that the sound seems muffled. Now I had listened to this same CD over the weekend while tweaking and it sounded much better.

Then it hit me like Edison finding something new to patent. Last weekend I was wearing an old, thin t-shirt. Now I was wearing a thick, heavy cotton, long sleeved rugby jersey. Work has extreme air conditioning and I was still wearing my work shirt. In a eureka moment I realized the jersey was muffling the mids and the highs. I ripped my shirt off just as my girlfriend was wheeling into the room. She yelled, "Is that all you can think about?" I was in the midst of science so I replied, "What?" Which got her to snap back, "Sex, that's all you think about." And she stormed out. Whatevs, man I was onto something here.

Sitting shirtless the mids and highs were back and sounding fine. So in a fit of further exploration I went to the bedroom and grabbed a big fluffy pillow. Of course my gal saw me with it and spit at me, "Yah ain't gettin' any!" I had about 10 come backs lined up but kept my mouth closed. I was in the moment man. So I sat down and laid the fluffy pillow across my lap and belly. Sure enough, the sound became muffled again but even more so than the jersey. I'm a freaking genius at this point!

So my conclusion is that I'm going to start selling magic audio shirts for around $100 a pop that will improve anyone's sound system. Of course I'll have a full range of shirts, some will improve the mids and highs, other the bass. I will call them "Tuned Shirts for Audiophiles."

Step right up lads, I'll be taking orders by the end of this week after I get my prototypes sorted out. :D

Oh, and before I forget, anyone want a slightly used girlfriend cheap? I'll throw in some interconnects I've made with CAT-5. :scratch2:

I'd prefer a girlfriend who would get aroused by seeing me listening to good gear, who would be turned on by things like even bigger speakers in the living room, and more big shiny amps with ample knobs and meters, who would get the urge to kiss me when we used words like "tweak" and "impedance" ... but who would have the self-restraint to sometimes wait until the music/listening was finished, before ravishing me... and at other times go with the rhythm and combine the two pleasures... :music: + :smsex: {First time I've had an excuse to use that smilie! :D }

As for Cat5, I have plenty, so I'd just preferr that the girlfriend purred like a Cat in heat 5 times, every time I'd bring home some new vinyl LPs.

No offence meant, but yours doesn't sound like she quite fits the bill. :no:


:D

I think this thread has a very serious core, albeit presented with some humor. The effect of sound-absorbing things near the ears on our experience of the music we are listening to can easily be as strong or stronger than larger-scale room treatments. Just try cupping your hands over/around your ears, or holding a pillow near to them, or pull some cloth (panties, bra or otherwise :D) over your ears, and hear how the sound changes. That part of the thread is for real, and a serious topic.

I'm eager to try the new Speedo LZR high-speed swimming suits for listening, to see if they give faster response and quicker transients.

P.S. - the bit about the girlfriend was a joke, on my part. I'm a married man. I just hope if my wife ever reads it, it will give her some ideas... :D
 
I would definitely buy one of those shirts if you make one for bodybuilders. I've found that my bulging pecs create a harsh peak at around 9 KHz.

If those pecs are firm muscle, that's not too detrimental... but if those are the kind that stick out from too much steroid abuse --you know, the ones filled with fatty tissue and swollen glands (am I allowed to write the generally-accepted term "bitch tits" on this forum?)-- then they'll give the sound a soft, mushy tone that is really inappropriate. :nono:

Of course, sometimes when the girlfriend enters the room, there can also be problems with sharp spikes in the frequencies lower down...
:D
 
You guys are late to this discovery....this is why I listen during late nites, nude, and without my eyeglasses (to cut down any sound reflections off of the lens).
 
eyeglasses

have a real effect on audio sound. when i remove mine, the clarity ups a notch and the soundstage improves a bit. i intentionally avoided the word imaging so as not to be punning.
