This may not be related to audio. If you, let's say, decide to try a nutritional product, claimed to increase your energy, I think it's important that you have a positive bias, when you take it. People will say it is the placebo effect, but I think, in order get the full benefit of that product, you actually have to have a positive bias. Time will tell you what is correct, but I've seen negative bias interfere more(because they stop experimenting with that product) with finding the truth. |
@lewm , Go for it!! Lew is absolutely correct, but I will put it in more distinctive terms. Anyone who falls for Synergistic Research's BS is being duped. SR is using audiophiles own frailties against them and sucking away money that could be spent on better equipment. Please do not fall for this Sh-t. Humans are dangerous creatures with a very strong survival instinct. In this day and age survival is money. Just look at your email box every morning. 3/4 of it or more is another human trying to scam you. You are more likely to be scammed than offered a reasonable proposition. In audio only go for something that has been proven to work by an independent agency that uses scientific methods. You never depend only on what any individual hears even yourself! When I try to figure out what setup sounds better I will go back and forth for hours sometimes. Notice how none of this garbage makes things sound worse? That is expectation bias at work. |
