Where do I sign up for the "trained audiophile ear" class? Do you receive the training along with the endorsement payment? Not sure how this works... I'm sure that will help me be more discerning when I purchase new audio equipment. Sorry, that class is now full. Try next semester ;D + 1,000,000  |

Like anything else a person does, if you keep practicing , you'll get better at it. It's the same with critical listening. The more you practice it, the better you get at "noticing/hearing" differences in the music played through different gear. |

I read once in a magazine about how a speaker can sound better than others above 20khz even if humans are not able to hear above certain frequencies. How much sense does that makes if we can't hear it?

chuckienut, I agree with you 100%. BTW, the dude's name is Sabin, not Saban. Thanks much for spotting my misspelling. We all make mistakes here in ones post but I really hate to misspell someones name, not at all polite. My apologies to Mr. Sabin. To Garbulky: my comments were not actually a result of reading the main article but instead Mr.Sabin's post in the comments section. Ed did a good job with his questions and brought out some interesting comments from Mr. Sabin. Sounded to me just like the subtle but still obvious strategy we used against competition in my time, especially the price cutting type. |

I had my ears trained AND CERTIFIED. I had to send them away in the mail to a lab in California for that....took about 2 weeks.

I used to hear those impact harmonics bouncing around the inside of my skull right after my ex wife would hit me up side of my head with that old black frying pan. |

Was that a cast iron skillet or just a dirty aluminum skillet? ;D ;D ;D |

Was that a cast iron skillet or just a dirty aluminum skillet? ;D ;D ;D Now that I think back about this I realize I'm not completely sure. In fact, I believe it might have been one of those heavy and expensive All-Clad pans with the super good non-stick surface. She told me no problem, that all the blood and brains had cleaned off very easily with just a warm soapy sponge. |

As we are in the California 'Gold Country' we specialize in the 'Golden Ear' option that I was happy to see you took advantage of. The ability to speak Spanish and the increased fondness for Mexican food is just an artifact of the certification process (some have also reported rediscovering their Santana collection). I hope you're happy with your HTIT certified 'Golden Ears'.  |
