      No need to treat your room when you use headphones. No matter how good a speaker setup is, it always stinks compared to decent headphones for me.

      Some of them even improve their rooms accordingly but are never satisfied.

      Some search for the listening experience they had when they were in their twenties and discovered their special music for the first time. They think if they just spend enough money on improving the equipment, the goosebumps of the days of yore will come back automatically.

        Music gives me goosebumps all the time. Even the things I’ve been listening to for over 30 years. I believe it’s a physical thing, not everyone has it. I didn’t know it could go away, at least that’s how I’m reading your last line.

          I described it somewhat metaphorically. I also get goosebumps repeatedly and again.

          I simply noticed during several customer interactions at the hi-fi shop that some people seem to be looking for idealistic audio experiences with a fixed idea of how it should be and believe that’s a purely technical problem. As if a certain cable or amplifier could solve that.

          Someone once asked me which cable he should buy to make the music sound really captivating. I dunno, maybe listen to some other music?
