General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

I hate to nitpick...

>For instance, if my hearing has begun the slow top-end roll off of old age, I might like a pair of speaker cables that would be too bright for, say my wife, but make me mighty happy.>

As we age our hearing rolls off at say, 13-14,000 Hz.

Most of what you hear as "brightness" occurs in the 7000 to 10,000Hz range.

The very high high frequencies tend to be triangle overtones and air - not much in the way of actual sound there.
