As I have gotten older my hearing acuity has decreased ( presbycusis) but my listening skills have improved.Part of that is attributed to the continual improvement of my hifi system and recording quality but also part of it is just sitting back, closing my eyes and concentrating on the music.
I have to laugh at some of the posters here who constantly negatively rail against products such as upscale fuses or cables or certain speakers which shall remain nameless.Either they have never bothered to listen to them or their system isn’t revealing enough or their listening skills are subpar. Possibly ,it might be all three. Hopefully my comments do not result in this thread being deleted.
