Is there a study that shows the impact our brain has on our hearing? I'm actually wondering how big it is.

The whole field of pyscho-acoustics.Is there a study that shows the impact our brain has on our hearing? I'm actually wondering how big it is.
I've had the experience of listening to my system one day and it sounds amazingly good. A week later, listen again and it sounds sh!tty. And I didn't change anything. What's up with this??? Is it all in my head? Or did something change? Some invisible characteristic of the physical space in the room? Maybe my electricity provider switched me from hydro to nuclear? Or is placebo really this influential?

I suspect it's a listener caused phenomenon, and not equipment caused if the equipment is operating normally. Mood is a big determiner.

Congratulations again! I've just put you on ignore. Since you must have the last word and refute everything I say, HAVE AT IT!!!
Just a heads up, the block doesnt seem to have stuck. You may want to check your settings, for your own peace of mindSorry, Blues Daddy, but I did not join this forum to be incessantly heckled by someone obsessed with rubbing my fur the wrong way. My most expedient solution seemed to be to simply switch off.
Yes, it's not a "block", it just doesn't show the comments to the person who put you on the ignore list. Unless you ignore him as well, you'll still see his comments/posts.Either that, or it works differently here than other forums? Is blocking only one way here and you cant see this, but I can see your posts? That seems problematic ...
Where did you pluck those statistics from? I suspect 99% out of thin air.Or 99.9% somewhere the sun does not shine.
So much for all the years that Hi Fi Choice conducted group blindfold auditioning tests on amplifiers and CD players and managed to hear substantial, repeatable and consistent differences.I still have a CD player from a 1995 group blindfold test that was found to sound really good and it still sounds really good compared to the average CD player or DAC.

Phew, I thought you were going to sell the dustI just launched a special audiophile clean room (class 100) for that purpose.
2-3 years ago they (Thais) all believed digital cables always have the audible effects on the final audio output. Now, roughly half of them know better that digital cables don't and can't possibly color the sound. But 95% of them still think analog cables (even short ones like headphone cables) and super clean AC power, do change sound quality.
Agree completely. The equipment is the equipment; it doesn't have moods. Well, maybe except tube gear...I suspect it's a listener caused phenomenon, and not equipment caused if the equipment is operating normally. Mood is a big determiner.
Numbers are just my biased estimatesDo you happen to have any links to the source of your numbers? I’m curious how they came up with those percentages. Thanks.
Very few of them understand the objectivity in audio, so when I present them with graphs that say cables don't do anything, they simply say the difference is so subtle it's undetectable by machines but they can somehow hear it.
Judging by the number of second hand cables I see for sale, I believe that any perceived benefit is short-lived.
