i stand my ground,,, its not just "thinking" its better, the result was stunning,,,, not imagination. going back a few years (about 35) in my system then (vinyl) i had a stylus that cost me £15.00 (a lot then) vms15e mk11, and was going to upgrade so went round a mates house and offered it to him, he was dubious, so said i would fit it and if he didn't find any difference i would have it back,,i also said i prolly wouldn't notice but he would, well, again he was blown away and i was also,,,,, no placebo there either. when you have listened to a system for years then make an upgrade change there are bound to be differences you will notice good or bad, (dan's experience with his headphones comes to mind).Of course it is. The placebo effect applies to more than just medicine. > > Without a proper trial, you've no way of knowing whether it actually is > > better or you just think it is.

I'm merely saying that it's not possible to know whether it's actually objectively better or you just *think* it's better just by listening to it. If you think it's going to sound better, it *will* sound better.
