Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

I guess it depends upon what you listen to

For hearing skills, youth triumphs over old geezers with "training"

If your choice happens to be test tones, then I would agree with you. On the other hand, I find that a considerable amount of the information that conveys the musical truth can be found in the "lower" nine octaves. I would far more trust the judgement of my mentors (both in their sixties) than any clueless teenager who has likely never ever been to the symphony, much less attended many hundreds of concerts.

BTW, many "geezers" can hear frequencies well above 10k. An engineer in his upper 60s over at vintage says he was tested to about 14k.
