This is the 2nd try to post the original post in the support forum.


Subject:
Returning member, Intro & a study exits showing hearing acuity in .1 % of males
Message:

Hi everyone I was here long ago under the same moniker.

I was 16 when I walked into an audiophile shop and was mesmerized...

My best forrey into audio was in 94 in NJ. Top was getting closing a hi end Sony ES show room.
I had bought the Sony pyramids

As well as the Sony

DVPs9000 dvd player as a drive only & a good DAC- tubed.
For 5 grand. Blew me away, Dam$ they were making great prototypes back then.

I know my stuff & am a cheap bastid.

Then there was the tweaks...

You know wire physics is funny, when I first heard from an audiophile "freak" years ago that the silver plated copper conductorssouned harsh in the top end, really what a nut.

It is cheap to be had teflon salvage wire. Well after comparing this interconnect that I made to a pair of pure silver, again homemade, I found statement true.
Yet it was only after upgrading all wire, everywhere to silver that I was sure. I put the old plated wire on one channel & the pure stuff on the other. The system was worth 18000.00 (more stuff add from other Tops) retail in '95. All Sony ES bought on sale. Go figure....

The nut was Jon Risch.

Now I do know of a study done in 2001 proving hearing acuity in .1% of males. This is what I cannot find w/o going to the LA times

I want to find this evidence of why there may be such audiophiles as I am.
Key point in study qualifying nature of this acuity: ability to discern the russeling of a leaf in the midst of noise, think hunter! Frequency range was normal as was absolute sensitivity. Woman had both the former advantages over men but none showed this acuity.
