I think it's the sheer over-abundance of words that gets us in the end. Ever been in a room full of women before? It's daunting. Yet their hearing is better. I've come to realize that homosexual men are called gay because they're probably genuinely happy. And their hearing is probably fine. Just a theory.
Is it too bright or is it high resolution?
It has been said in the forums that one mans bright sounding amp is another mans high resolution amp. Some amps and preamp combinations can deliver a high resolution presentation and to others this may be considered too bright sounding. Is there a fine line that can distinguish between the two? Personally I like very revealing & the fine details delivered but the wife says it sounds a tad bit too bright.

Better hearing based on sex is a myth...... our household has been a living experiment in this regard with my wife 9 months younger than myself, and our fraternal twins - boy and girl. In listening tests over the years, the results are usually the same as far as order, best to worst. 1) son 2) daughter 3) me 4) wife Now what I do feel might be tainting the results is that I think my son is cheating, and my wife could care less. I am 55 and can still make out 17khz on a good day. This video imo helps to prove that hearing is more than a sex thing; it is also based on many factors, and variables including lifestyle, health, heredity, occupation etc.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZHWY1KBHwc So IMO, in order to determine what a person means by bright or high resolution; I feel one needs to understand what their hearing ability is to begin with. I could hear the 16khz tone in this video - how bout you phd, others ? |
Every human ear is different. No two are alike. The brain receives impulses from tiny hairs growing in a snail inside your head. The size, shape and length of hairs are different in every ear. It really is amazing just how much we can agree. Traditionally men loose their hearing from working in loud environments, shooting guns, and playing in rock bands. If you've done none of those things, then your hearing can be every bit as good as a woman of your age, unless she has been doing those things. |
