Anyone else in my shoes? Ears going.........

I just turned 63 and I think I'm going to have to settle for the gear I have with no more improvements. I don't think I can hear the differance any more.

I think I have a pretty good HT setup and a very nice analog rig (for what I can afford), but I think I've reached the point of diminishing returns as far as my aging ears go.

On the plus side, I really enjoy what I have, and my headphone amp and Sennheiser 650's really maximize what's left when I choose the headphoen option.

We all lose our ability to hear the higher frequencies that normally you can when younger as we get older.

At the same times the ears of those who listen to music over the years becomes more "tuned" and refined and better able to enjoy what is heard, I believe.

Botoom line is if it sounds good to you, then it IS good!
