How good is your hearing ? And how do you know ?

Sometimes I have a big laugh when reading this forum. There are clearly people whose hearing is, shall I say, very special. So why buy good stuff ?

Maybe this forum section should be renamed :-) inna could you you be more specific please? I think helomech has interpreted your OP as dissing people who think they have “golden ears” where I interpret you as dissing people who you think have poor hearing/listening skills (hence yoir comment “so why buy good stuff?”) Can you clarify which group of people you started this thread to insult? Thanks ;-)

High end loss of course, almost nothing above 15k. Thirty years later I now have some tinnitus, but not that bad considering 55 years of live shows (in audience and on stage).
