"If you hear a difference, enjoy it"
For that matter if you DON'T hear a difference, enjoy it because it's one less thing to worry about! Considering the large variations in our systems, environments and ears I simply don't understand people getting uptight because they do or don't hear an affect from a change. And the next level of insanity is getting upset because someone else disagrees with your results or beliefs. Beyond simply hearing is the issue of whether you LIKE a change that you hear. Many changes are compromises of some sort so it's not black & white.
My view is that home audio systems are out of control as are their users. And I mean that in the nicest, most scientific way! The performance and interface aspects of our gear are insufficiently controlled to guarantee predictable results for even a single users. Most of the time, most of the stuff is OK for most of the people, and even for audiophiles. But the latter may wish further optimization. Unless it actually hurts my ears or offends, and many things do, then I can enjoy the music. The biggest, clearest, most important thing anyone needs to learn is to trust their ears. And it can take a long time, many mistakes and lot's of money to really learn that lesson. I think reading AA can reduce the risk and increase the enjoyment, I wish it had been around forty years ago.
"these guys do not know everything and you do not have to accept their limited understanding of what is going on."
Too true! Most of the 'scientific experts' have zero experience working with low level systems or EMI. Anyone whose ever done so knows that there are enough variables to choke a horse.
