Because it dispels the many myths out there that revolve around the
notion
that amplifiers have a "sonic signature". It points out that comments
attributing one type of sound to amplifiers made by one company, and
another type of sound to another company, have no basis in fact.

See here is where we differ. I believe that amplifiers do have a sonic
signature and it's not distortion that is present. I believe what I'm
hearing is not measurable with instruments.

But what is it? Do you not agree that if the waveform produced by
amplifier A perfectly matches the waveform produced by amplifier B, there
will be no difference in sound?

Of course. Unfortunately, they don't measure as accurately as you think they
do.

That didn't make much sense out of context of Trader's remark. When he said
what he's hearing isn't "measurable", I don't really know what he means. What I
mean is that it is measurable, of course - for example, human ears can hear it.
That's not the same thing as saying current tools *are* measuring it. That's
the problem. It certainly *can* be meausured, and some day maybe it will be.
That will be nice.
