King of the Hill

So some people have the latest and greatest chips,wires,clocks,transports and designs.Killer,Olympic,Top shelf,Untouchable on all levels,King of the Hill.Sooooo, if their ears are just average,help me out here Doctor,and are a definate part of the hearing experience,what exactly does that say about their opinions.Is it better to have the greatest ears and average gear or great gear and average ears.Yes,we all want the greatest of everything from AC outlet to ears,but if we are all lacking in one area of the auditory chain,whom can we beleive?Your thoughts mean alot to me,but nothing to the Krell,cheers,Bob

whoah, nelly, that's pretty intersting to think about. allow me to make another analogy, does the guy with the fastest car always win? will nike shoes make up for white-boy jumping (in)ability, do fancy clothes and cars make up for the fact that i am a fat, disgusting slob?

NO WAY. Bob is on to something, namely the subjective end to this hobby of our, and the fact that there is no way to know that what i am hearing is what he is, since nobody can know what/how another experiences the sense. even if we did fancy audiometric comparisons between people, someone might have better high freq. perception that another, but that still means nothing of what the barin does with that input!

So that does it - I am looking for a good set of ears on audiogon (the whole shooting match: pinna, typmanic membrane, stapes, chochlea), then i'll have my temporal cotrex (heavy in auditory processing), then the part of my thalamus that handles the routing. After all that - i'll get a tummy tuck and call it a day!
