In Reply to: RE: It IS absurd since there is no right way to listen to music... posted by mkuller on July 16, 2014 at 09:02:16
Have 50 years experience in the Hi-Fi business as both manufacturer & retailer have visited most of the audio shows World Wide for many many years. Have yet to meet or see an audiophile who listens to music with closed eyes. First I have heard of this nonsense was from Teresa several years ago.

Maybe that's why you praise the sound quality of Sony receivers so highly. :)
I am mainly praising the sound of the Sony AVR DA5400ES pre-pro + FM tuner & MM phono stage section ( as good as any high end separates that I have used) fed out to my own stereo amplifier connected to front speakers for superior bass.

Fifty years in hi-fi? And how long have you been a performing musician?
I find that listening with my eyes closed provides the opportunity to mentally focus on the music much better. Although, I will admit that most of the time at live events, I want to SEE the musicians as well as HEAR them. I mean, who doesn't want to WATCH Doc Severinsen while he shows us how it's done?!
It's common knowledge that our senses are inter-connected, and that by disconnecting them during an event or as an exercise, we are able to hone and improve them, which typically results in greater enjoyment and/or understanding of the topic at hand.
When listening seriously and not particularly caring about the visual aspect, eliminating the visual distractions is a HUGE benefit.

...next time you go to a symphony or a demo session at CES, take a look at the listeners and you will observe some with their eyes closed.
Not the whole time, understand, just for a few minutes.
And you don't have to meet them, just pay attention.
