The Krell is useful as a reference, because if

only say the things I do because I've never heard a

amp. Besides, I like the brutal *look* of that big
mother****er! :-)

So here we've arrived at the heart of the matter: people
select certain components not only for their sound, but
also
for their looks, their fancy nameplate, their build
quality,
whatever.

So what's the relevance of double blind testing for an
average
consumer again?

Lip service to scientism.

This would be in contrast to George's whole-hearted
commitment to idiocy, right?
