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

Yes I remember the 60's and 70's audio and I couldn't wait to get away from it what with idler drive turntables and Quad amps churning out hum by the bucketload. Move onto the milenium and we now have equiptment that can resolve from grooves or pits levels of detail that we could only dream of then. I know which century I want to belong in and to the question my ears are 65 years old and I now can't hear above 13K but what I do have left I still can discerne good from bad when it comes to hearing hi fi systems and the old chestnut can you still hear the triangle ? well I can . Too many people in this forum think that their hearing is special well take a hearing test , get your ears syringed and then maybe you may just hear then the difference a cable and a fuse may make to your system.

Well, I guess I am one of the Porsche "10%"ers

What?

There are clearly people whose hearing is, shall I say, very special.

I can't imagine how you could assess anyone's hearing remotely relying only on their posts in an Internet forum. That's what's odd about the title of this thread:

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

The real question to the OP is: How would you know how good my hearing is? Not: How would I know how good my hearing is.

Count me in as a 10% er too. Raced my 911 for 14 years. I would have to disagree that 90% don't drive their Porsche fast, but do agree that most don't know how.
