Description
"MMmmm, feels like it's a bit heavy around 6KHz... those cymbals are a little dark."If you've ever found yourself saying something like this, chances are you've spent some time developing you listening skills and abilities, which is one of the most important elements of being an audiophile.The idea of "Golden Ears" having to do with actual ears is wrong. Superior listening skills happen in between the ears, and are a product of focused efforts to get better at understanding and identifying what's happening to the music in your system. Practice makes perfect, and you have to actively work at getting better before you can pick apart the sound in front of you or recognize what makes the best sound reproduction so excellent.From surrounding yourself with different audio systems to actually recording and manipulating audio, Darren and Duncan offer tips and steps to help you develop your listening abilities.This week, the guys also take on reader questions, announce a couple of hifi audio news items, and at the end of the podcast, reveal an absolute sizzler of an album recommendation.
