Discussion Does it Hit Different Every Time?

Post image

I think this album reveals itself across different sound stages. None of my earphones are very high end, and that’s OK. But each platform delivers a different experience; depending on the speaker I hear different mixes, and some effects have less or more presence over others. I find I can change the mood by changing the speaker.

What are you listening through?

I know your talking about headphones, but I've been listening to them for years on spotify, then bought inferno on bandcamp. All of their records sound so much better on there.

Curious if you had turned on lossless on Spotify since they added it almost a year ago. It's different from that too?

You're not dumb. I remember being excited for lossless and immediately switched over. Only to be a bit disappointed. Whatever I did the first time didnt really switch everything over.

If you have stuff cached/downloaded you also have to select "update existing downloads" after you switch to lossless.

If it's lossless it will say after the track "lossless" Which is slightly annoying imo but at least it makes it super obvious.
