You are right of course in identifying gullibility as the reason that
many might buy something supposedly superior even when there is no
actual difference.

There's one born every minute, and here's a fine example. Don, you
exhibit this stupid arrogance that you can design a scientifically
viable test protocol just... like... that. In the next breath you tell
us you "know" cables sound the same, because you "proved" it to a
couple of hippies in the 70s. Then some clap trap about not being
duped at Sunday school aged 4. Well.. obviously you're the man for the
job!

Don, you are clearly a victim of ABXism. Just regurgitate whatever
you've heard Pinkerton and Krueger preach, it'll be fine...

The situation is of course different for SET amps -
they are demonstrably inferior in so many ways.

If the SET sounds is prefered by the listener it is superior.

This does not merit a serious reply. First so far - well done!
