Re: Customers listening too critically & imagining noises in repaired amps - what to call that phenomenon?

Ed/SS	Re: Customers listening too critically & imagining noises in repaired amps - what to call that phenomenon? Wow! So I'm NOT the only one! Thanks for all the replies guys, but I don't know what to think of Bozoism - what the hell is that? This P.A.O.A Bullocks Paranoid A.A.P (didn't want to include "moron" - they're not really that stupid) stuff comes up every once in a while (actually, a little too often) - usually it's hiss thing: tube hiss, solid state hiss. "Well gee, howdya get rid of that?" is the main question. The latest example is a guy with a Strat playing only his bridge Lace Sensor (low noise, but not noiseless) thru an overly high gain Peavey 5150 (that I had to work on, but claims the guitar hum wasn't there before). Uh huh. Played it myself with test-guitar Strat which DOES include a Vintage Noiseless pickup - no hum. Hmmm.
