Yes and a question

A black box with a power switch off is inserted into a wall outlet in a room where there's a fantastic system. The stereo is powered up and the listener establishes a frame of reference. The black box is turned on and suddenly the systems sounds much better. The box then turned off and the stereo sounds worse.

How is this listener being fooled and what can he do to prove it?

This actually happened to me. And BTW you aren't being fooled if you don't know it.
