Last night, I decided to go out for a walk. Stuck my DAP in my pocket and my headphones on my head and walked out into the frozen night. Temperature was about 24 deg F. Turned the player to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, one of my favorite musical pieces.
As the second movement came on, I started to notice a change in the detail level of my headphones. It seems the cold made them more detailed. I could hear members of the orchestra shifting their weight, tapping their feet, and turning the pages of their music. I could hear what sounded like a percussionist keeping time with the music by tapping his drumsticks on his hands. I could hear the woodwind section breathing.
As I returned home, the third movement was coming on. As my headphones and DAP defrosted, I heard the sound return to its normal detail, still crystal clear, but lacking all the definition I had heard outside.
Has anyone else experienced such a phenomenon? I'm hoping this wasn't just in my head, if it was real, it could be very useful knowledge.
I'll try again tomorrow with a different piece and report my findings.
If anyone else wants to try it and report their findings, I would appreciate it
