Yes, I have heard the difference too, with many 'tweaks'. Many of us prefer to trust our senses, since that is really all we have with many 'tweaks'Well it depends just what you're trusting your senses to do. If you're trusting them to determine whether or not you prefer something, that's all well and good and I do exactly the same thing.
Now if physicists can question TIME itself, why can't we accept our listening experiences as 'factual' at least to us?
Who says that we can't? Certaintly not me. As I've said before, no matter how our senses come to be, whether it's physically via actual audible differences or psychologically via internal biases and expectations, or some combination of the two, it's no less real, TO US. Or more specifically, to the particular individual having the listening experience.
What I have a problem with are those who wholly ignore the fact that our subjective perceptions CAN BE influenced by things other than actual audible differences and then proceed to make a wholly illogical leap of faith by concluding that their subjective perceptions are entirely due actual audible differences and claim them to represent an objective, universal truth. And that anyone who doesn't share their same subjective perceptions are either deaf or have crappy audio systems.
This sort of simplemindedness is what causes people to do things like join bizarre suicidal religious cults, become racists, biblical literalists, etc. This is not the kind of thinking that results in true advancement of knowledge and understanding but rather the kind of thinking that keeps us in the dark ages of myth and superstition.
