Not quite. Audiophiles believe they hear differences but can NEVER prove it

In addition, audiophiles will report "hearing differences" 50% to 75% of the time when comparing a component with itself -- this happens again and again when brand names are hidden --- seems like a strong bias toward reporting audible differences, doesn't it?.

Beliefs and reality are very different for audiophiles willing to test their hearing. It's unlikely those audiophiles frightened of tests have significantly different hearing abilities.

You should be ashamed of yourself for even suggesting every component sounds different -- the manufacturers, salesmen aand snake oil peddlers just LOVE suckers like you ... who try so hard to convince others that your ears are so much better than any others ever tested over three decades, and you could not possibly imagine an A-B difference, or mistake a small SPL difference for a sound quality difference ... and basically you could never be wrong about your belief about what you hear and your belief that not one objective test means anything.

You are a silly audiophile who ignores objectivity and science because you want to believe golden ears really exist. I suppose you also believe in the Tooth Fairy (not that there's anything wrong with Fairies).
