Post your examples of when headphones (or other hi-fi gear) have made you say "holly $***!" because something surprised you that you've never heard before in a familiar track.
Been listening to this for 30 years. Then the other day, I heard the the trailing echos at the very end of the track with THX AAA 789 > Nightowls
Another one is Kiss by Prince, which I've probably heard hundreds of times (involuntarily, not a fan). For some reason I listened to it (on the Nightowls), and it was a completely different song than I've ever heard. I never noticed the panning soundstage effects & layering because the tune has always been background. I did shout "holly S***!" and made my wife & daughter listen to it, after which they shouted "holly s***!"
