    Congrats on finding an appropriate joke that actually has relevance to your channel. It's something that definitely changes the sound reaching your ears. I love the sincerity you present it with.

    love that you can have some fun amidst the usual reviews. Thanks for a fun video and a good laugh. Also, want to thank you again for giving me some personal direction in my hifi journey. Ok, on a completely different subject, do you trim your own beard, if you go somewhere, where do you go? I don't live very far from you and need to find myself a good barber for my beard. Thanks for what you do and your time. Keep up the great work.

    • @thevinylattack

      I'm glad you liked the video. I couldn't bring myself to pay someone to trim my beard. It just seems foreign to me.

    I have found the safari style pith helmet to be the best overall hifi head gear. It gently grabs the sound and amplifies it slightly and also simulates a sort surround sound effect. You should give it a try.

  • @9mmmike642

    The early 80s painters caps with the rear mud flaps will give the widest sound stage.

    Briliant topic. We should match the style of a hat to the music. Excelent delivery of very serious subject, all audiophiliacs should pay attention

  • @laurelhardy4064
    @laurelhardy4064 Год назад +1

    Kidding aside, wearing a hat does change the sound of a system, but my family already think that I'm crazy by sitting between the loudspeakers when listening to music, wearing a hat would result in a call to mental hospital.

    Just occurred to me that a hat rack, with enough hats, could be effective as room treatment.

    My Russian-style ushanka winter hat greatly improved my music-listening experience when listening to Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Shostakovich, the 'Dr. Zhivago' soundtrack by Maurice Jarre, and the song 'Rasputin' by Boney M. for some reason. ;)

    I find a Bra far more effective. Though doesn't look as cool as a cap.
    Would recommend, the bigger the ears, the bigger the cup.
    Cup not Cap...

    I have a short-brimmed Fedora!!! As a result of watching this video I now have a reason to wear it 365 days a year. I'd like to add that also wearing a pair of sunnies whilst donning the fedora during my music listening time, not only improved the sonic enjoyment of my experience but also provided me with an existential feeling of being cool. Although being indoors in a dimly lit room wearing a hat and sunglasses whilst listening to music some might say makes me one huge d***head, but I can live with that 🤣.
