From his orator?
On hearing and listening.
They are very different things
Some people might have amazing hearing, but are not very good at listening, to either what they are listening to, or saying.
This is really important for audiophiles, and, for everyone in general in order to live a meaningful life.
Great hearing is of no value if one can’t listen...

Taught "Listening Skills" classes at my company for many years. Hardest class to teach advanced professional scientists, programmers, and engineers, I found. Along with "Logic" classes in college, this is a skill that is no longer taught, OBVIOUSLY, given the state of this country right now. We also used to teach Civics in High School, and it had a large unit on Propaganda. Evidently not being taught any more, either. As for audio skills, I encountered both the "measuring" gurus and the "musician" experts when I had my shop. Both had value, but final decisions by customers were often made by brand name and/or "friendly" competition between colleagues. Either way, it was a sale for me. Cheers! |
Hi, all. (...the moth flies towards the flame....) ;) Happy Holiday of Labour... Geo, @ 68 I've likely heard 'somethings' similar....I suspect it's why I appreciate Silence....*s* Eric, Precisely. If it doesn't move you and your muse in the final analysis, why bother? 'Perfection' is many things to one and all and likely will remain 'just out of reach'.... Fine. It gives the species something to do. *L* I have my preoccupations, y'all have yours. Enjoy and share... (...and give those endless wire/cable/'item X' threads a Wide berth....*LOL*) |
