[QUOTE="perfecxionX, post: 7536775, member: 572854"] If this is the case then golden ear audiophiles should be able to distinguish the difference in a double blind. If the "color" is not measurable in any way or detectable to the human ear in a double blind then there is not reason to believe it exists. Show evidence to the contrary don't just claim it. In this context I'll say that there may be a noticeable difference between a tube amplifier vs solid state but I only say that because Ive heard of double blind studies demonstrating this. I don't understand this statement? A watt is indeed a watt, and if two amplifiers produce the same amount of power, both with inaudible levels of distortion then why would you want to spend 5000 for one as opposed to 500 for the other? (issues of longevity/durability ignored) [/QUOTE]
