billwojo...I wasn't going to comment but you said something that caught my attention. This idea of expectation or confirmation bias is valid. But I would ask, what harm is done if someone can afford what you call snake oil and believes they hear an improvement in their beloved audio? They're happy because, even if it can't be measured, they hear an improvement. And that's what this hobby is all about - doing everything you can to enable your system to sound as close to a live performance as possible. I don't see why anyone would try to convince someone that what they think brings joy to their life is not real and they have no right to that joy. If you can't accept it on those terms, how about considering the fact that we need people to spend money for the economy's sake. It puts people to work which we need desperately. It works for me.
