As Mr Pinkerton notes there is no mechanism for green-ink and green accessories
to have an audible effect.

I heard it, every time. Less noise.

No, you didn't. You just *thought* you did. Please understand that the
'green pen' effect is a myth, in fact it all started as a practical
joke. It doesn't do anything, because it *cannot* do anything.

Try it again under blind conditions.

The effecet was so substantial I'll not bother. No, thank you.

None so blind, as those who will not see. If your attitude is that "I
heard it, so it *must* be real", then I can only say that :

a) You are just plain wrong

b) You have no interest in advancing your knowledge of Hi-Fi music
reproduction

c) Any time you'd like to drop in, I'll be happy to demonstrate that
you most certainly did *not* hear any substantial difference

That's an epistemelogical impossibility. I heard what I heard. I heard
it repeatedly and consistently. Bias can't do that. Unless, of course,
bias is so sophisticated it can vary its intensity and show up, all on
cue.
