Neat topic. I'm trying to recall some Hi Fi reviews that might apply.

In general, audiophile responses to tweaks skew heavily in favor of 'benefit' or 'no difference.' Quite rare to find a tweak review that says, "Nothing happened," let alone, "Something bad happened."

I guess if we keep the nocebo or placebo effect in mind, then, when someone claims either benefit or detriment for a tweak, we must remain equally suspicious.

"Expectation Bias" lives on.
