The Absurdity of it All

50-60-70 year old ears stating with certainty that what they hear is proof positive of the efficacy of analog, uber-cables, tweaks...name your favorite latest and greatest audio "advancement." How many rock concerts under the bridge? Did we ever wear ear protection with our chain saws? Believe what you will, but hearing degrades with age and use and abuse. To pontificate authority while relying on damaged goods is akin to the 65 year old golfer believing his new $300 putter is going to improve his game. And his game MAY get better, but it is the belief that matters. Everything matters, but the brain matters the most.

I think there’s more than hearing acuity.

People who are older may have less hearing acuity but have more experience.

I spoke to Fremer recently, he said I may not hear as well as I used to but I listen better than ever.

I think that about sums it up.  It’s always good to have someone with more experience point you in a direction.  Right or wrong for you, that’s another story entirely.
