There are differences, even among amps of the same type. That's something you can pretty easily test in an audio store - often they have multiple amps hooked up so you can swap betweem them with the same source and speakers. There are significant differences... but in the same rooms you can swap speakers as well, and in my experience at least the difference between amps is much smaller than between speakers. This isn't surprising - speakers are the only component with moving parts, with a response that depends on the room you put them in. In fact they're the only component that involve sound at all, and acoustics is much more complicated and difficult than any electronic circuit where you have precise control over every component.

In any case I agree it might not be the best test to determine which you prefer once you know there's a real difference. But to see if there's any perceptible difference at all it's fine. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26598 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
