My ears of tin are over 50

An absurd thing to say.

I think if you can hear , you can hear. There is no text book guideline. I have a dealer freind that has a customer with hearing aids. I mentioned that the hearing aid would limit the bandwidth and the dealer told me he felt the same way. But the customer will describe differences in equipment setup with a suprisingly accuracy. So each of us must be individual in our senses. Now at age 40 it seems that eyesight gets weaker...in some of us. And there must be a reason 18-25 yr. olds don't use viagra. But hearing
will be dependant on how you used your ears in the previous 50 yrs.

I have not read his book, but in fairness to Jim Smith, he appears to have very good audio credentials, it sounds like he did not in fact say what the OP indicated, and his book appears to be quite practical based on the descriptive info available, so I would not hold anything against him.

Has anybody read his book? Any impressions?

Any truth that a viagra tab on top of KT 88's improves the sound? How about other componets? Jus' wonderin...

"Any truth that a viagra tab on top of KT 88's improves the sound?"

Wouldn't surprise me, though I have no personal experience. Viagra dilates blood vessels I think, which should have the effect of stimulating ALL the senses I would think.

COuld be the ultimate tweak?

Audiophile quality Viagra cost 10X as much as normal grade though mind you!
