Noticed the comment about hearing. I went form Theil to Genisis... etc, etc.. and the most profound difference I have heard was getting a pair of ResoundAir hearing aids. They are behind the ear so all sounds pass thought the ear canal, they are not the plug up your ear type. The hearing aids are tuned to your audiogram to bring the frequencies that are low up to normal, just like having eyeglasses, and just as huge a difference for me. I have hearing loss from loud noises... duh. I wonder how many people like me have spent a fortune on equipment not realizing how limited they are to actually perceive what's there.
