Upgrade...Sounds great...Goes away

the placebo affect is alive and well. if you expect to hear a difference, you are more likely to hear one , even if there is no difference in the components of a stereo system.

if you change a component and your expectations are that you will hear no difference, you may hear a small difference or none at all.

remember, a (small) difference that makes no difference is no difference.

it's mind over matter--if you don't mind it doesn't matter.

Well that easy, all I really need to do is believe I have a 500k system and in my mind it will perform to expectations.

audiogon forums are good examples of group think. many members will believe opinions and recommendations without thinking for themselves. when someone suggests that is not a good idea, he gets critocozed for it.

i guess political correctness applies to the world of audio as it does in other areas.

Sometimes a change,is just that.
When was political correctness an issue-just the facts maam.Dragnet!

where did the teleportation thing go.
