Once upon a time I was interested in musical tuning.  I even invented a 
theoretical improvement on quarter-comma meantone, but lacked the skill 
to try it out.

Later I found that I have a tin ear for that sort of thing.  Can't even 
tune a guitar by ear, because the differences in color between strings 
drown out the differences in pitch.

So I assume "good" audio would be wasted on me.
