My ears of tin are over 50

Rgs,

I am similar. Its almost as if losing ability to hear the higher frequencies one can when younger facilitates an improved focus on what you can still hear.

I consider myself fortunate that my ability to appreciate good sounding music has perhaps waxed and not waned with age, at least so far.

I'm also over 50 and had my ears checked last year. I was told I still have surprisingly good hearing for the most part BUT some higher fequencies were issues if the volume is lower 50db. Not a problem I listen at higher volumes than that.
Considering I work on large commercial HVAC equipment I think I am very lucky.

Yep, Mapman, I am grateful that music is just as much fun as when I was a teenager, and better equipment makes it more so. (By the way, I also have a pair of Ohm Walsh 2s used for TV duty that I bought new 25 years ago still going strong. I thing the Ohms will long outlive me.)

Rgs92,

Curious what is your main system and speakers for audio?

Original Walsh 2s cannot compare to many newer designs in regards to overall refinement but the newer upgrades available for them can. I have heard the two side by side in my system for comparison, so I am quite certain about that.

Main system is EMM SE separates, Edge NL12.1, Harbeth SHL5s,
Stealth/Shunyata Cables.
