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.

Good advice as above. A piano is both melodic and percussive in nature.
Test these characteristics with familar music, passages, for accurate texture and timbre when evaluating electronics. Ask yourself, "does this music reflect the live event"?  Possessing the ability to tune a piano requires an awesome ear. You already have an awesome ear. And yes, you can't tuna fish.  Enjoy the music and have fun.

Happy Listening!
