I’m running through some new music, some tried and true favorites, and some sonically trusted masters but no matter what I listen to it sounds like a hot mess of jumbled thick midrange. I’ve changed nothing. Typically I’m thrilled by my setup. What the hell is going on?

    Whenever I find myself thinking along the same lines I realize a couple things.

    1. Your ears need a break. I’m the kind of person who listens to music constantly throughout the day, but if I want to sit down and listen critically, I need some time to just unwind in silence first. Otherwise I find I lose the details and despite being my focus, it just sounds like the background music I’ve listened to all throughout the day.
    2. For subjective listening, there’s absolutely no beating a double of your preferred bourbon or rum.
