The problem is (and considering the average age of 78 enthusiasts,
I suspect it may be a fairly common one...?!) that, over the years
(and a couple of other unfortunate events...?!) I suspect that my
hearing is no longer flat across 16Hz-16KHz...thus making it
effectively impossible for me to identify...or, in some cases,
even notice...a lot of defects in reproduced audio...?!
