You clearly didn’t read my note correctly.So you’re insinuating that only men can be audiophiles?
For someone squawking about “toxic masculinity”, that’s awfully sexist of you.....
Pot, meet kettle.
No, I made no inference about true capabilities. Instead, I’m stating as a fact that the only people who have bragged to me about being able to hear lossless audio are men (I am also a man) even though the data does not support this.
In fact, the data has clearly shown that women can hear better at higher frequencies (men at lower), but that many environmental factors cause men to have worse hearing (we tend to listen to music more loudly and also work in professions that are prone to more hearing loss). In spite of this, the data also shows that despite claims to the contrary, very very few people of either gender can differentiate between high quality lossy and lossless audio, which is exactly what I stated in my previous post.
