listeners often report that they like one mix over another when in fact
the two mixes are identical and the preferred is 1 or 2db louder, at
least over certain listening ranges. There is absolutely no significant
harmonic anything going on when that happens. There are tricks the ear
is playing on them when they listen at low levels vs. louder levels.
I'm sure this is what's behind it. Anyone who demos hi-fi gear in a shop
will tell you that you can sell box A over box B by playing it a little
louder to the customer. Just psychology.
