I’ve been recently talking with several “golden ears” audiophiles about audio cables (between loudspeakers and amps and amps and ancillaries) and this kind of random chatting happens routinely.
The most open-minded people agreed there are audible differences and everyone agreed that - despite natural hearing loss due to age - the listening skills are greatly enhanced by the experience and the ability to evidence and recognize all parameters relating to timbre, harmonics, projection, sustain, decay and so on.
For a musician, this acquired talent is even greater… almost unbelievable to many!
… and we didn’t even hinted to tone-woods characters and how they sound and interact in a guitar, for example! 🫣😱🫣
Enter the Elliott capo, handmade in the 🇺🇸.
I sparingly used many different capos for the last 55 years…
… from the early Dunlop, Schubb, Victor, G7, a few years ago, thanking Michael Watts and his YouTube channel, I discovered and finally ordered my Elliott capo.
It costed an arm and a leg and I felt a bit stoopid - i.e. a Web video suggestion? Snake oil?
Naaaah!
When I got my Elliott capo, the audible HUGE superiority vs. ALL other capos I tried and owned, greatly stunned me.
Absolutely not muffled notes at every fret, capo less, natural sound of the instrument was absolutely preserved.
A M A Z I N G!
This sincere, apostolic, I’d dare, satisfaction makes me a believer and this epiphany is so similar to the above mentioned audiophiles debate: differences aren’t always for the better, but experience makes you a better listener, so a better musician and better audiophile, able to understand, better: feel, what’s a fake or a gem
Ears are so democratic: I wouldn’t be able to afford these toffee-nose items, I’d stop eating pizzas for one year, saving for these special stuffs, so no excuses to don’t get The Best you can be afford.
Ha!
