Unfortunately, Paul, it doesn't work like that.  A SMALL level difference
will introduce apparant phase and amplitude differences when one is 
doing a careful AB test.  That doesn't say that either is better,
only that there is a subtle, non-amplitude-linked sort of perceptual
reaction to slight level differences.  Each individual reacts differently,
ergo there isn't any hard and fast rule whether on not louder
or softer is better.

Feel free to decide in your case, but leave my hair-cells alone!
