Well, Adam, if you can find a $300 amp which sounds better than a $5000 amp, I think you've proved my point. I'm not saying that the audible difference between amps is price dependent, as a matter of fact, I thought I made that clear.

However, neither have I relied on the mysterious and mythical 'placebo' effect to trump all audible differences in tests which are not strictly double blind in nature.

As to your belief that I am "anti-scientific," well, I respectfully suggest you haven't understood what I'm saying, or you wouldn't characterize it as "anti-scientific." To the contrary, I think it's bad science which denegrates evidence which is inconsistent with theory.
