I'm 66 and there are times I miss what someone says if they're speaking softly but at the same time I can hear the differences between pc, ic easily. Perhaps we loose something in regards to volume but not in definition, tonal accuracy .
Are you too old to be an audiophile?
DISCLAIMER: This is not meant to be offensive in anyway, just something I've always been curious about and thought it would make for some interesting responses.
One of the things about audiophiles I've always wondered is how they reconcile their age, and the scientific fact that their hearing isn't what it used to be, with their belief they can can hear all the nuances of high end gear, and even the cables. As we age we lose our ability to hear mainly in the higher frequencies. You know that high pitched sound older CRT televisions and some recessed lighting can make? No? Neither do my parents.
Thoughts?
