When I read that there are no measurable effects that could account for the claimed audible differences, I made rationalizations about how effects could still hide in subtle ways in the data that hadn't been considered yet. But skeptics making physics arguments, as well as James Randi's challenge, convinced me that my beliefs were wrong and that I had been fooled for a decade by unreliable ideologues.
I remember they used to try to convince people that gold contacts were the best conductor. Turns out silver is a better conductor than gold but not quite a lucrative to sell.
