Putting listening ability to rest - privately


Hi guys/girls, with so much discussion going on over hundreds of different topics in audiogon, but that mostly boil down to listening ability, I found something a while back I thought would be good to share with you all.

Its a list of six tracks, each featured in three different resolutions - you simply click on the box you believe correlates to the highest resolution of that particular track. It may not be definitive or absolutely conclusive, but it does give a little reality check regarding the state of each our abilities to listen ; )

Best done without any headphones or highly resolving speakers for those who don’t want an ego boost with aural prosthetics, and like their truth served straight up ; ) - best listened to on just your computer built-ins.

Whatever the case, it gives a fairly decent indication if you can trust your ears, begin to rely on them a little more, or just go back to those measurements 🙊 - enjoy!

Sure. I'll even use the pin head size speaker in my phone to assess the sound differences....As Soon As YOU use this measuring device to make your choice of which is best

Why would you do that? I have a transistor radio that sounds like crap but I don't use it to evaluate quality of the source material. 

The files are all digital. This is like asking wine enthusiasts to prove their tasting ability by drinking septic tank effluent. Three glasses filtered for different amounts of solids, can you choose the one with the least toilet paper?

And you actually did this?
