I know you know this! But to make it clear to all, when people hear
differences due to psychological factors they do actually hear a
difference, so the phrase "think you hear a difference" is somewhat
misleading in these discussions.

Hence the term "placebo effect" rather than "placebo illusion"...the
placebo effect can actually help cure geniune illness. How much more
easily can it cause you to genuinely hear a difference in sound. The
only question under consideration is the source of the differences
heard...whether they are due to the playback system or the placebo
effect.
