I feel that many people forget the masking effect of frequencies at higher levels than these "audiophile" frequencies above 20Khz. In the general course of a piece of music there are few occasions when there is space in the overall sound to hear high frequency material. If the high frequencies are more than 20dB down from the main noise level it is unlikely that you would hear the high frequencies at all.
I would be interested to see copies of research about high frequency event audiability in the run of a typical music program. -- mudlark SB3>CyrusDACX>PreXvs>ESP-P09B>NAP140+260A>Rhapsody, Avondale and Naim cable, Kubuntu Hardy Heron server, linkstation for storage.
