Well, there are audiophile forums (eg, hydrogenaudio) and scarequote "audiophile forums". On this particular forum, very little surprises me any more. But I am surprised that some people are so dismissive of the possibility of the placebo effect. In contrast, I find it easier to understand the argument of some that 'I like it better and I don't care if it's placebo or not', even when it costs significant money.
And I know lots of oenophiles and appreciators of other fermented beverages that rather enjoy a (single-) blind taste test now and again. Like music, they/we mostly enjoy knowing beforehand what we are drinking or hearing, but blind taste tests can be fun now and again. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92924 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
