What a bunch of fools a whole bunch of posters are.
Is it arrogance maybe?
Denying others’ experiences smacks of ’holier than thou.’
"I don’t experience what you do, so I must be right."
99% of the time though, it’s "I haven’t heard the particular equipment but I’m going to express my biased opinion anyway."
Placebo is a word that is thrown around whenever anyone expresses their subjective experience of equipment, upgrades, tweaks. More used as an accusation, blatantly questioning intelligence.
This year I have upgraded speakers, cables, DAC/Power supply, fuses, power cables, mains filters, and a few other pieces/items.
On most of them, I have noticed a change in my musical experience for the good.
People who then state as fact that my experiences are false, are in my mind shallow, judgemental and not worth taking seriously.
