That way if you don't hear a difference it's because you don't have the qualification required to hear it. Not because there is no diff. This con has been used for years, keep it vague and if they complain blame the customer. A newer version is in cables. Don't hear a difference, you need to brake them in. Usually just past the date that you can return them. I'm not saying here that it's all a con game mind you but when dealing with intangibles it's easy to take advantage of people, even people that know what they are doing. Everyone wants to believe.
