I think expectation bias is very short lived and overrated. Listen to it with the new equipment for a week. Then go without it. If you don't miss having the new equipment, then send it back.

I completely agree, just felt if I didn't mention it someone would point it out in a not so subtle manner though I'll admit I haven't yet seen roguish behavior in this forum.
