Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

The question that you cause me to consider is why some are not affected by the placebo effect?

I have never seen any science evaluating this question. Of course there is also the question if science is thorough in its understanding as to why everyone does not like the same isolation devices, the same amps, the same interconnects, etc. I think human variation on both is a fly in your argument.

It is possible that this is at the root of the subjectivist/objectivist debate with subjectivists saying that science must be incomplete if there are person to person variations, and objectivist saying that it must be the power of suggestion, presumably even were the listening done in a double blind circumstance.
