In Reply to: Please explain "listener's fatigue" posted by newbie on May 11, 2000 at 07:12:16:
Toward what I was hoping was the end of my upgrade journey that has taken me almost a year and a whole new system, I have traversed from listener fatigue (I think you know it when you have it) to a *possible* case of listener boredom, although that is probably too strong a word. After the latest upgrade, a tube amp(!!), I find the sound non-fatiguing, but am left wondering if there is something missing. While I can now listen for extended periods, it's not that I look forward to it so much (neither do I avoid it). I just go. Music, no music (except when the neighbor's dogs are barking), I am ok either way. I have somewhat of the same feeling on my clock radio. BTW, I like music VERY much and have enjoyed it in the past, even on the fatiguing system.
I don't know what it will take, but I will try to fool around with speaker positioning and possibly cables. BTW, any recommendations on cables out there for this situation? Of course, I would rather stay on this side of bright/fatiguing.
I suppose I should also consider middle-age burnout/male menopause :-)
