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.

Just like athletes who have to trainrf their bodies, critical listeners need to train their hearing.  Wide exposure, frames of reference, concentration, attention to detail...repeat, repeat and repeat.  No different than how a wine sommelier or perfumer train their senses. It takes both an interest and a commitment.
