Sometimes after an audiophile modification job is completed, an initial euphoric moment can be experienced at the start of an unfolding evaluation process. The response can be so misleading as to elicit confusion as to what one is actually hearing. The level of excitation may be so intense that double checking can prove that nothing at all was actually done. I've experienced this enough to know that proper evaluation takes more than just an initial response based on expectation, one way or another. I don't find the phenomena any more beguiling than non-audiophile evaluation processes that take a goodly amount of time to get a grip on.
