...but I don't need to understand the physics of why that can be possible. If a trusted audiofile tells us that he can hear differences in careful, controlled tests, then I believe him whether I can hear those differences or not. We're back to 'if I can't measure it, it doesn't exist' argument in the form of 'if I can't understand the physics of it, the difference can't (or at least doesn't) exist'. Don't you think that the universe's people get smarter over time? That our understanding of physics has improved over the last 5 or 500 years? That the audio industry knows how to make better-sounding...say...capacitors than they did 20 years ago? Do you really believe that sonic differences don't exist unless you, right now, understand the physics of the situation?
I believe that EVERY change to a music-reproduction system changes its sound whether I can hear it or not. What do you believe about that?
