horseshit. Someone with training and experience can most certainly tell 
the difference in the tonal quality between a Stradivarius and even a 
high quality modern violin.

more horseshit. Someone with training and experience can certainly tell 
the difference in the flavor profiles, especially if you tried to dupe 
them with a Gallo.

That's certainly your prerogative to be skeptical, but given that there 
are indeed people with training and experience who can tell the 
difference between a Stradivarius and a Scolari, as well as between Don 
Melchor and Crow Canyon Cabernet Sauvignons, I have no doubt there are 
individuals who may be able to tell feel difference between various 
quality TPU tubes.

I definitely don't qualify for any of the above, but know there are 
people who do have those talents.
