| Rick has brought up that psychoacoustics is physiology rather than psycho-
| logy: it is the study of how perception of sound is affected equally among
| all humans by our ears and brains rather than individually by our minds,
No, I believe it is you and Rick who are confused. Psychoacoustics is the
science of the perception of sounds. What you are talking about is
perceptive encoding algorithms, such as ATRAC, which strive to achieve
equal perceptive results among the majority of humans.
| so thinking one MD brand sounds better than another is not psychoacoustic
| at all by that definition.
But the belief that such a distinction exists causing one to perceive a
difference *is* within the field of psychoacoustics.
