... abilities they claim to possess,
but can't demonstrate to any witnesses,
except with speakers.
Public demonstrations of audiophile abilities
are quite different than personal beliefs that
"everything sounds different".
Of course in public demonstrations
the components being compared play music
at the same SPL, which could significantly reduce
audible differences.
And the brand names are hidden.
I can't speak for you,
but I don't need to know the brand names
to hear what a component sounds like ...
... and I don't want to compare components
playing at different SPLs,
which could create an audible difference
when none would exist when playing music
at identical SPLs.
My own experiences, including many audiophiles
I have witnessed, shows that "everything sounds different"
is only "true" when it is strongly believed,
and never tested.
I think it makes audiophiles look foolish when any one of
us claims "everything sounds different", but can't even come
close to proving that claim, or just argues that tests are no good.
As if listening to audio components with the brand names hidden
is so difficult!
