>Yes, tune aurally only. Would listening to piano music confuse a machine? >Arthur Probably not. So what you've got with the Mozart, is either a holistic analog subjective comparative ETD, or the endorphins. Realistically, we can talk ourselves into, or out of, hearing what we're doing with tuning to a greater degree than we will normally acknowledge. I can, and do, easily ignore overhead ceiling fans and television newscasts without insipid theme songs, but find inane conversation, running water, and anything that clinks, crackles, or rattles difficult to get around. The degree of detriment of the background noise to tuning is very much dependent on the aggravation level. I would guess Barry Manilo possibly wouldn't decrease your tuning stress level all that much. Ron N
