Zowie! To have such sensitive, and trained, ears as to be able to distinguish the type of wood you place under your cables!If I may offer a humble insight: you're pursuing the wrong career. You want to go to where the money is. If you haven't noticed, "high" end audio is kind of struggling these days. However, judging by the palaces they are building, medicine is doing just fine.
Those scoundrels are able to sell bags of saline solution that they buy for about US$0.50 each for literally hundreds of US$ each.
They make Myrtle Blocks look like pikers.
What you should do is take your ears, and their training, and teach Medical Doctors how to listen! With your preternatural abilities and mad skillz you might be able to get MDs to the point where they don't need ECGs! All they will need is a stethoscope, the hearing skills you taught them and they'll be able to diagnose a heart attack years before it happens!
Or maybe they can do sonograms without having to have an actual sonogram machine in the room!
Heck, if you put enough Myrtle Blocks in the room the Doctors may even be able to hear cancer growing!
Trust me, with what you say your hearing can do your Nobel prize is going to be just a footnote in medical history books. You just need to demonstrate your talents to the right folks.
All the best!
