it sounds fine to me. ...............

I hate that phrase, "Sound's fine to me."

When I was in college, I worked in the radio station as an engineer. One of the things we did was to listen to the signal that was going out over the air and detect when equipment was deteriorating. As most of the music came from LPs, one of the big problems was deteriorating or damaged cartridges. When we "wrote up" a bad cartridge, a "techie" showed up. He was supposed to replace or repair the defective turntable. There were a couple of techies we hated, because they could never hear the distortion.

"Hear that distortion?"
"Sounds fine to me."

On more than one occasion, we took care of the problem by physically breaking the disputed component so there could be no further question.
