| Difference Maker! "I can’t hear much if anything over 8K"You have great hearing. Mine fades past 7khz, along with RAGING tinnitus. Things are just a little challenging, but the music sounds the same. Hearing aids before I go deaf, are in my future. | |
| Jazz vocalists which may not be as real as we think/imagine I did not interpret the original post correctly.This is only about SQ. Diana Krall's work is typical 90's-present. Subjectively, it has what I call "CD tone" No escaping it, even on the $$$ systems. Probably just in my head, since I'm an LP devote... | |
