Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Benjamin]

How come suddenly now it's 'too hard' to listen to 32 days a stage? Or even listen for something 8+ hours?

When I first come to the forum we were all doing that, no complaints, no 'oh this is too hard' we just did it. I did AM6 twice and never had an issue, neither did tons of other people. But now it's apparently a criticism of Shannon's design.  

LTU is almost the same amount of listening (7 hours, and yes 2 days off but not far off) with AM6 you simply listen to a stage for 32 days, and switch over to the next stage. It's not that difficult.

I don't really like the idea of getting rid of Stage 7. I haven't used any Stage 7's but i've read people who have used AM6 a few times then used Stage 7 and it's been very beneficial for them after that. Maybe something like don't bundle Stage 7 when they buy it, but when they have proof they have done Stage 1-6 properly then we can set the up with stage 7.

Seriously!!!

Back in MY day...we had 4G and 5G...and I listened often up to 21 hours per day...vastly changing my routine to max the sub usage...uphill...barefeet...in the snow...both ways...blah blah.

Being a single man, or knowing subs with limiter couldn't affect partners or children, listening for multiple hours per day wouldn't be a problem at all.  For me now, it would come down to how long I had to wear headphones or earbuds.  It becomes quite uncomfortable after awhile.  I don't mind listening while sleeping, at all, but I "lost" my second pair of Cozyphones recently (seriously, two pairs I can't find in my whole frickin' house), and listening through big-ass Sennheisers all night hurts.  Anyway, time isn't an issue, really, but there are certain situations where it's a PITA.

Yeah I was thinking about it more after posting yesterday and there are some situations that make it difficult like that. Especially not being able to expose women to AM. And using headphones for 8 hours it's very difficult to sleep.
