If you were to hear a difference between components(even if it were marginal), would you immediately think you were dillusional because there couldn't be a difference?
As science requires, you need to verify the results of your experiment. Your results must be repeatable under controlled circumstances. This means other people besides you need to be able to hear it in a blind test. Just knowing what device is in use WILL skew your perceptions. That has been proven time and time again.
And if you can hear a difference, then that difference should be measurable. Like it or not, electronic measuring equipment is MUCH more sensitive than the human ear (and doesn't have a biased brain attached to it).
