Has anyone read this thesis in it's entirity? :

“A New Methodology for Audio Frequency Power Amplifier Testing Based on
Psychoacoustic Data that Better Correlates with Sound Quality”

"Daniel Cheever points out a number of flaws in conventional testing
that indicate the ear is extremely sensitive to tiny signals well above
the normally-expected range of human hearing. The high-order harmonics
to which he refers exert an influence on our perception of the sound
that is vastly disproportionate to their strength, to the point that
research from as far back as 1937 indicates that high-order harmonics
may actually exceed the subjective effect of their lower-order cousins."!!!!


It's a shame he had to bugger up an excellent idea with ideas of ultrasonics
being involved.
