General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Almost every statement by high-end audiophiles implies everything sounds different

"Differences" are almost always "heard" in sighted auditions.

"I can't hear a difference" is rarely, if ever, claimed ... even when a component is compared with itself!

Sighted auditions encourage audible differences by comparing two components playing at different SPL's.

Blimd tests of your ears are only relevant to your ears ...
but over THREE DECADES one finds a very common scene where some audiophiles
"hear" differences in sighted "warm-up" auditions ... that seem to disappear minutes later when the double-blind methodology is used,
providing good evidence of an "imagined difference bias" among audiophiles.

Show me the written post or video of any high-end audiophile who even admits in public to the possibility of imagined A-B differences.
