Perceived SQ differences playing local files

[yannig]

My observation is that SQ discussions often get derailed by posts asserting that its just placebo effect or some other tricking of the mind. Thats a valid point of view but rarely do these types of posts just leave it at that. They typically wade into the swampy area of rudeness, misinformation, trolling, insults and so on. Not good.

Beyond a certain number of comparisons, no placebo effect remains.

But so few people know this in audio.
Which I find strange.
