I don't think "golden ears" have much to do with detecting distortion. It's more about being able to build a representation of the complete sound stage (or whatever you'd like to call the image reconstructed in our brain of the surrounding audible environment). It's just like with vision. Some people in sports (ice hockey, for example) can track their fellow players much better than I will ever be able to do. And that is at the same time as dribbling with the puck. -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
