I have to say I have some sympathy with this. It's a well-established fact that our minds influence our perceptions, and quite a few audio enthusiasts' enjoyment comes because of what they know is in their equipment, not what the air is doing at their eardrums. Sadly, relatively few of them are happy to admit this, but a few are (I am, when I'm enjoying my vintage amps which I know perform no better than a decent modern one).
