RE: Better duck under that desk;

Sorry, I don't get it. I can see the point in training myself to recognize middle C, to hear and identify complex harmonies, to understand the pattern of a composition and be able to learn it by ear. I really don't see the point in training myself to hear the the otherwise inaudible limitations of recordings when I could, instead, be listening to the music. And if I did see the point and did find the time to train myself to hear such things, I don't know how that could possibly do anything to enhance my enjoyment of music. In fact, I think it would have the opposite effect.

And you're wrong about AB/X. Of course you can test the trained; it is no less feasible than testing the untrained and has been done often. The study I referred to in this thread used audiophiles, professional recording engineers, recording engineering students, and civilians. Sean Olive's studies at HK often use a similar cross section of listeners.
