Not so long ago, I went to a website that played test tones and listened through my AKG Q701 headphones and was surprised to find that my hearing topped out at 14.5KHz. Actually, I was a little surprised that it was not worse than that. I'm 61 BTW. I do now enjoy CDs more than in the past but I think CDs have come a long way since the early 80s. A bad Cd still sounds like crap to me! On the other hand, I've always been an adherent to the get the midrange right school of thought. I tend to still favor the gear that I've liked over the years, Maggies, tubes, Audio Note, so I'm not sure much has changed as I and my ears have aged. Maybe my hearing was always suspect!
