I've long wanted to sneak in and pull tricks like that. It would expose a lot of the hype and BS that clutters the audio world, and obscures some of the real issues.

John Dunlavy has written about similar tricks in evaluating speaker cables. Like pretending to switch cables from 12 gauge to some impressive looking stuff, and having the subject proclaim it sounded better. Or mixing up the indicators on their switch box so that the subject thought he was listening to the exotic when it was really something else. He always picked the one he thought was the exotic. I suppose after you told them the truth, you could have a contest to see who's face got the reddest, and who's veins stuck out the farthest on their foreheads.
