How high can you hear (with music & lowpass)

Wow, i´m impressed! Either that samples are better, more worse or my ears got better B) The frequency test from pcabx, i could not hear no differences at all! Here, it looks like this:kHz WinABX 12 10/10 14 10/10 16 9/10 17 5/5 (got lazy, because of WinABX - see below - and because it got hard already!) 17.5 5/5 (yeah! more easy this time - needed a gap, it seems) 18 -/- (even more lazy) 18.5 9/10 19 9/10 *grin* 20 no way (but i feel that it COULD be possible ... need a better day for that - and relaxed ears) 21 no way 21.5 no way So, a lowpass of 19 is too low for me (and so, --alt-preset standard!) 19.5 may be, 20 will be enough for me, with 20.5 having a bit more room - so, 20.5 was a good choice, so far Sad, that there is no 19.5 kHz sample Some comments: That WinABX is, say a FINE programm - but i will try another! WinABX is quite uncomfortable ... I did not completely understand that test, i need to say. Those samples got faster and faster ... why?!?! (probably just don´t understand enough about thos ethings B) ) I needed to concentrate on two peeks somewhere in the middle! The basic-samples did not use a lowpass and the ones called *lowpass* where made with a lowpass at the given kHz-number, yes?Edited to add this: I tested the 20 kHz sample and noticed the following: At my first try every time, i have quite a good score to get it right! But second and subsequent trials i cannot even guess ... I need to concentrate on that two peeks somewhere in the middle of the sample. I very strongly have the feeling that my ears reduce sensitivity because of the OTHER sounds around that two peeks. They are to loud compared to that peeks ... does anybody have similar samples to try?Edited again: I tried castanets-060_lo18KHz.wav against castanets-060_lo22KHz.wav and had NO chance! It seems, i need special samples for that - like Chenoa
