Message-id:
Are musicians and conductors superior to non-musicians in discerning
audible differences?

While I have not read your citations and musicians and conductorsare better
trained for music, their ability to discern small differences were published:
"The Grass is Always Greener in the Outakes", Gould, Glenn, High Fidelity, Aug
75, pg 54-59.
which is a bit easier to get. They couldn't do much better in discerning the
conductors outtakes from their recordings.
