I wonder if people really learn to listen. I was mesmerized the first time I heard my uncle's JBL Paragon/Mac system back in the 60's. My father owned EV400 and an HK receiver and I was constantly listening until I was old enough to buy my own stuff. I think you either relate to hifi or you don't. I guess you can learn to hear what system comes closer to a live piano, assuming the recording is remotely trying to accurately reproduce the piano. But ultimately, I think it's a more visceral, subconscious thing that listening to a great system does.
Trained ears.
Simple question, which may have a non simple answer.
How does one train one's ear for evaluating Hi-Fi equipment?
The emphasis primarily on loudspeakers but other Items along the chain to the wall socket can be (and should be) Included.
I am a qualified Pianoforte Technician so I can tune a piano, but I can't tuna fish.....
I've never thought of myself as having 'golden ears' to evaluate equipment.
Thoughts/Tips/Views please.
