At 79, I am severely impaired hearing-wise. But, bless the
spirits, my hearing-aids are compensating for music under
live as well as "reproduced" conditions. I may not hear
the overtones of the highest order but I know when I am
listening to good vs excellent stereo systems. I even went
to Denver to listen to "the best speakers on earth" and
enjoyed the experience knowing that I had pretty good ones
myself. FYI, Avantgarde Duos driven by Lamm ML2.1 monos.
We audiophiles educate ourselves to pay attention and to
hear better, I think. My guests have blank expressions on
their faces and questions in their eyes. I dare not tell
them how much I put out for this equipment. I am convinced
that this is not "placebo" effect.
