RE: A Modest proposal

Audiograms are designed to diagnose hearing problems that affect the ability to understand speech. They use a limited set of test sounds which cover the frequency range required for this purpose (100 - 8000 Hz). Music is more than just a bunch of sine waves in this limited frequency band.

In any event, the "mind stuff" between the ears is more important than the ears themselves when it comes to enjoying music and evaluating equipment. This is not just a question of the "hardware" (good physical health), it includes the "software" (training and experience in how to listen).
