No doubt. We listen to what we like.

Not if we're professionally engaged in working with sound. Then, we listen
to what me must in order to get the job done.

I submit that being a professional musician could easily encounter similar
situations.

Of course. I thought that discussion here was about home hi-fi,
however.


and desire to
be perceived as having exceptional hearing.

How you reach that conclusion is a mystery.

The world is full of people who claim they have exceptional hearing and can
hear all sorts of things, or they say that anybody that has normal ears can
easily hear what they claim to hear.

Then you knock out their one-size-fits-all crutch, which is sighted
evaluation, mismatched levels, and/or mismatched synch between the
alternatives being listened to. Likely as not, their ears suddenly turn to
cloth.

How does this relate to your statement that "'sounds better to me' is
just a statement of your prejudices and desire to be perceived as
having exceptional hearing"? Sounds to me like the OP simply made a
statement of preference.
