Here's a thought. This method upgrades your sound to beyond 552 level....

You are probably reading this thread and shaking your head, but a way to improve the sound coming to your ears is simply to 'cup them'.

I know you may laugh at me suggesting this, but the audio acuity differences are phenomenal.  No doubt you know this as I can't imagine anyone who has never tried this, but surely if some cheap device (e.g. two cardboard sheets that fit behing the ears and connect to a head band...) can improve the sound quality you hear from your system for simple pennies there is something we are all missing out on!!!

I know, having visitors is a no no, but as the move into 3D TV is due to come and people will bring round their own 3D glasses for a night of entertainment with their mates (and a bottle of wine), surely the cheap alternative of improving the perceived fidelity of music has to be a gap in the market.

Maybe the product will take off on the Dragon's Den??

LOL, I have done it in the past. You can see it now quantum aligned plastic ear enhancers cryogenic treatment will provide silky midrange and inky blackness.

Well at least this was opened in the Straight Jacket Room, and not the Music Room.

why stop at a device?  Just have your ears pinned forward by a plastic surgeon

I do find myself cupping one ear when an interview is being done and they mumble and more than a few times with British movies because it is a whole different slant on words.
