I always wondered if it was just my ears or if the instrument had really changed. I should have recorded it.

Often I have my best experiences when I'm not directly listening. I'm reading or working on something, getting lost in the moment.
Just goes to show the magnitude of the psychoacoustic phenomena and how our brains process things...

The alternate is the "quantum audio nirvana bubble" being burst by the intrusion
