What's your methodolgy and how is it based in reality?

"You have the methodology all wrong. First, one shows that there is a phenomenon to understand; second, one looks for explanations as to how it works."

There is definitely a phenomenon to understand: people paying money for trinkets on the basis of claims that the devices improve sound quality.

At least two good explanations come to mind:

(1) People sell snake oil and other people are duped into buying it.
(2) The trinkets improve sound in some mysterious way, perhaps according to a trade secret, or perhaps a mystery to the manufacturer as well.

What's your methodology to discriminate between these explanations? How do you know that this methodology is "based in reality"?
