You cannot separate the brain from the ear so the whole argument is a bit
academic is it not? The reason you can hear differences is also due to the
brain as a matter of fact.

The main thing about the ear is that it distorts very badly as its non
linear.

** Absolute ******** !!!

Human ears are extremely LINEAR !!!

Detecting 0.1% harmonic distortion ( 1 part in a *million* as a power
level ) on a sine wave would not be possible otherwise.


This is why you hear things four times as loud as only twice as loud.


** Rediculous false conclusion.

How loud sounds seem is function of the brain.
