Yeah I get that I'm getting older. It's just, what's the point of having a stereo that gives perfect playback at 22 kHz if you can't hear it? I'm guessing there must be something since people buy gear like that, or is just a case of deranged audiophiles?
You might not hear a pure 22kHz sine but any sound from, say, a harpsichord will have much off these highs, and some think it is a part off the sound, that one feel without actually hearing it. I'm not endorsing this view, sound islike wine tasting, a lot of hand waving and few solid ground.
There's blind wine tasting, if you want the real deal. Without the hand waving.
