Quite possible Julf although I haven't seen experiments around this published (although I haven't looked exhaustively). Since most of the anomalies people complain of are in the high frequencies, age-related high frequency loss should not be an issue I would have thought. Personally, I hope *not* to experience this phenomenon first hand in another 20 years ;-( ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archimago's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2207 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98374 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
