Over the years my relative has spent allot of money on these non balanced audio cables. Every time he 'upgrades' he says it sounds so much better. I hear no difference. Then he puts the volume up so my ears hurt and asks if i can hear it. I just smile at that point.

When I was like 4 years old, our neighbor had a fancy sound system he showed off to us. Next time he was at our house, I walked over to our TV to show him it could do the same thing, by just turning it up really loud.

I figure it's like I used to feel that my engine ran smother after getting an oil change. The brain is weird and can't be trusted.

I mean depends how bad you let your oil get.

When I met my wife she mentioned her car had trouble going up hill, I suggested a 5 (new to her for 1 year) year old car should be fine at going up hill.

Turns out she had never heard that you need to change oil, the dipstick showed no oil at all.

Oil change definitely made her car drive smoother 😀
