ASR - Good for measurements but you shouldn't read too much into his conclusions/opinions as "Everything that isn't Harman is bad!" is pretty much the default for him.

Between 80 and 120? You most probably will. Between 90 and 120, not so much. Remember, our hearing isn't linear.

I don't think you would in terms of practicality.

Even when listening really really hard, really dedicated people with extremely high-end stuff only notice once it reaches -55 dB.

I have a hard time noticing HD until it reaches -40 dB of so.

-80 dB distortion is effectively inaudible.

-120 dB distortion is literally impossible to hear.

Okay cool. I don't read much other than the numbers really, I watch others for subjective stuff, but mostly I want to hear it for myself. And yeah 80 to 120 was a bit extreme example..
