Well never underestimate the placebo effect. I am into wine tasting also, and I shudder then someone praise a wine just because it is expensive and therefore should taste good. But I guess the really expensive HIFI gear pushers laugh all the way to the bankThis is some snippets off an audiophile board:

The "form" was too good to pass up.
No, I've heard them sing live: the bass was weak and the midrange sounded hollow.Since all artifical sources are imperfect and all auditoria have flaws I recommend benchmarking sound reproduction systems against the only pure sound source - a choir of angels in the only unbounded auditorium - heaven.

That explains why it didn't work. I kept pouring it into my ears....The best stuff is that "varnish" you can buy that has the *same density as the little bones in the human ear*. You paint it all over your caps and PCBs and transistors etc and your amp sounds MUCH better..
