Know why people say they hear parts of music they've never heard before when trying out new equipment? Because they are concentrating harder on the piece, and will notice little details which escaped them before.

The cheapest upgrade I make over and over is: turning down the lights, making a nice cup of tea*, and really listening to a recording. Always brings out new details which I never heard before.

*I drink tea from The Republic of Tea, and some of it costs upwards of $20 an ounce. I've not tried the experiment double blind with Lipton.
