I am not an audiophile, but I always enjoyed wonderful music.
However I have lost parts of my hearing over time as I served with
line units in the army reserve.
That still does not keep me from recognizing a bad recording from a good one.
I can listen to some MP3's and tell you they are inferior by how they
sound. It is not just audio range it is brilliance and clarity in
the sound you hear. It is like going to a symphony and listening to
a piece of music. When you have heard it once done properly with a
full orchestra, to hear it any other way is a disappointment.
We have gotten used to inferior sounding music. FM radio was good,
but not great. Car stereos were abysmal for so many years we got used to it.
Once you are used to inferior sound and have never heard the way it
is supposed to sound you don't know the difference.
(My Grandfather was a Master - Master Organ builder in Germany for
many decades. I have heard some wonderful pipe organs at one time in
the past.)

Fortunately or otherwise ( ;-) ), I still have most of my hearing.
My occasional job requires this as an audio technician. I use a
great pair of headphones for fieldwork which also work great at
home. They block out the external noise as described below. Remote
