An older audiophiles new equipment


The pandemic and persistent wearing of masks in the hospital forced me to confront difficulties hearing or understanding elderly patients, especially women.  A hearing test almost moderate loss in the 1 to 7k range.   Initial trial of Kirkland device sounded like a computer generated voice.   Discourages dropped this issue until a chance meeting with an audiologist.  He confirmed the loss and suggested a Widex moment.  What a world of difference in the busy er of alarms, masks, and frail.  How is this device going to measure up to a 3k dac and 7k speakers.   Listening at lower volumes and hearing details.  I had stopped most of my lp use thinking the more modest priced cartridge was the culprit.  Spent hours with vinyl.

 Did a google search and Michael fremer gave thrm

I haven't minded all that much growing old.  I see my family grow and flourish, see the result of my career, those I mentored, all the books I read, the music I listen to, the concerts I saw/heard.  All of it makes a full life.  For me, anyway.  I'll be 70 in September.
