What Makes "Stuff" Fatiguing?

Kind of depends on the house humidity. 78F is OK, I like it cooler though.

Most of my listening is late at night, so heat usually isn’t a factor, but if it’s too hot, I probably go the speaker route.

Forgive me for reviving an old thread, but this is incredible attention to detail! :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes:

As I was reading an amplifier critique, a number of people described the sound as fatiguing. It’s also been used to describe speakers and HPs. I typically listen to speakers and HPs for hours at a time and have never experienced fatigue. On the contrary, I find it difficult to take my phones off. Has any else experienced this?

Patient: β€œDoctor, it hurts when I do this”

Doctor: β€œDon’t do this”

Turn the volume down and listen to well mastered recordings that you enjoy.

If you still have ear fatigue…send them to the gym.

You apparently enjoy your music.

What happens then is you find yourself collecting knives, fountain pens, glassware, or hats.

Today, for example I wore the 1940 Josh Turner whippet style fedora. The other day it was a mid 50’s Stetson Twenty Five Open Road.

When you find yourself creating promo photos to audition for career in male modeling?

:man_dancing:

I would seriously get into collecting hats except we live in such a hat hostile world now. I can’t wear it in the car and I don’t like wearing a hat in a restaurant. Neither location has a good place to put one.

131

No, not male modeling. But note the incidental product placement for my work. If you call the number on the door, we pick up. Unlike most 401(k) providers, Reddit groups, or self help robots.

I know that my take away will be:

HERMANSADER

ETIREMENT

THE UNEXP

NSIDER
