I think the nub of your response is that people
"believe" things sound different. It's the same mental
process that have people believing in God, the Tooth
Fairy and Santa Claus. They don't have a shred of
objective evidence that things sound different, just
their faith.


Let's say they *perceive* things to sound different.

OTOH lets *not* say they "perceive" things since that
then opens up all the
ambiguities and misundestandings where people use the
word 'perceive' in different ways and argue at
cross-purposes... :-)

What word would you prefer then? They have to perceive to
believe, do they not?

A little apparently much-needed Psychology 101:

There are two kinds of perceptions:

Illusory or unreliable
Veridical or reliable

Audiophiles are well-known for confusing the two.
