This is the mantra of the subjective camp of the audio religion. The problem is that it just isn't true. I don't have to test drive them in my car to know that magic gasoline enhancement devices won't give me better fuel economy. I don't have to try Coca Cola in my gas tank to know my engine won't run on it. Engineers and scientists don't know everything but they DO know some things. Not every audio tweak does what is says it will. In spite of what some want to believe, more than a few of them don't do a damn thing. A whole bunch of tweaks and gadgets aimed at digital playback systems simply cannot do what they claim to do. Magic pebbles, treated clocks, cable ointments, mystical labels, unpowered magic chips and the like are in the same group. If someone told you that a $500 chunk of platinum placed in the northwest corner of your basement would transform the sound of your stereo, would you run out and buy one? I suspect that quite a few people would but most would say "that's ridiculous. We all have to filter out the impossible and assign a risk/reward ratio to the highly improbable before we spend our hard earned dollars because once we plunk down a good chunk of cash for something, it's really hard for our rationalizing minds to admit we were duped.And then you have CJ who believes in absolutely everything.
