I know the mind can do weird stuff, to say it in layman's words. Our brain is a very complex organ that doesn't work like a computer. That makes it elusive to investigate in a scientific manner. Because you can have an hypothesis, try to make an isolated test environment for a repeatable outcome, and never get the same result. Because it's the doorway (some say the seat) of conscience. If you think all we are is atoms, good luck explaining morals, conscience, intuition, life. Not to mention supernatural experiences that appear to be the same with all peoples all over the world.
That also makes it difficult to discern, is it me that hears the music different or does it sound different? Science gives you no help. You need a more holistic approach. Take a step back and try to approach it with a different view, a wider horizon. That might mean you have to let go of your certainties, your solid ground, your insurance and sane dogmas.
I think that's where the snake oil hits the trofden path. Where the audio science review crowd is afraid to go because they might encounter facts they cannot explain in their indoctrinated college /university spoonfed worldview.
I just saw a video of David Icke, think of him what you like, explaining this expanded worldview in a sort of helpless way with frequencies in the EM spectrum. I know where he's going but he is trying to explain supradimensional universe with a materialistic metaphor. He also states that our universe is a simulation. That indicates intelligence that made it.
If you don't like (quantum) science you may skip to the last sentence
Writing, explaining difficult topics, helps me form my thoughts.
Science has always claimed they know everything there is to know while, when you look at its history full of contrary and ridiculous theories is has always been in flux. Take the theory of the 'eather'. It has been dismissed a century ago, yet we still talk about it when we think of radio. And we still say the sun rises. But don't discount 'the eather' yet. It will come back with a vengeance given the unexplainable cosmological contant that indicates an unimaginable amount of energy in absolute vacuum, the matrix of the dark. Nor does science have a real explanation of what light really is. Or that the speed of light is constant (it's not!).
In my first year I in science class they told me 'the speed of light is very high, 3x10^8 m/'s, and it's a constant. People used to think it was infinite but that was of course foolish' And to prove this there was a graph in our science book that showed all measurements of the speed of light since the Renaissance and the increase of precision over time. Only the graph showed a clearly visible *decline* in speed! From 3.001 to 2.99979. Of course I had to ask the teacher the unwanted unanswerable question "if it's fixed then why is the graph declining?" (the answer was a lie) You won't find that graph anymore because now "the science is settled" and c is fixed now and 1 meter is defined as the distance light travels in 1/c seconds. Circular reasoning anyone? Frequency and wavelength of laserlight from a krypton laser are defined as fixed. But is that so? If the matrix loses its tension over time so will the force exerted on krypton atoms causing a change in speed but not in measuring its frequency or wavelength because that is your yardstick and its made of rubber.
Ever heard of redshift? If you compensate redshift of distant galaxies for rotation the result is that the values are quantised. As in piano keys instead of a violin notes. That means it cannot be a Doppler effect. But it is an indication that the tension of the 'eather' or the matrix is diminishing over time in a step by step manner, causing lightspeed to reduce. This is also another indication that our universe is a simulation, because everything is quantised.
That also means that galaxies that are 15 billion light-years away are not 15 billion years old. Which would explain why they do not appear as baby galaxies but full grown, if that is how you think galaxies came to be. If you take a picture and it takes 15b years to reach us than that picture is 15b years old. But the picture shows something that is not young.
Science on its head. Or the emperors clothes. Trust your instinct. And your ears. So when you aren't satisfied, just let it rest. The next time you'll feel differently. Enjoy the wonder when it happens but don't think you can strap it down.
And no I'm not a flat earther by any means.

And they sound good too.
Trompe le Monde. That's the last one with Kim Deal, which is a BIG deal. Unlike I said, it's a single LP in 30th anniversary edition.
…. Lol
and have your assistant try to pull the finger and thumb apart while you resist, should be quite difficult, then pick up a C cell battery in the other hand and try again ….
