Chickens aside, learning how to listen, learning the vocabulary of sound is critical in the enjoyment of high end audio. My partner of 35 years has always had much better hearing than I… she is a girl. She always to differs to me to explain what she hears. We both clap our hands over our ears when hearing high resolving systems with distortion, but she differs to me because I have highly developed listening skills. Listening skills trump small differences in hearing.
Something Millercarbon has preached Be A Better Listener. Do not get mired in data.
At times I agree with @millercarbon. Not often but at times.
One thing he has always preached is "Do you know how to listen"?
Well this article sheds a little light on that very subject.
Yes Chuck that was a compliment.
Just provoking some thought and I may look a tweaks a little different (just not colored rocks).
