Note that I intend to do some additional comparing, just in
case. However, so far I have not heard differences between
any decent amp and any other decent amp, so I am not
expecting much.

Howard, I've had many amps in my dubious hi-fi career, and while it's
true many sound the same, others do not. Recently I bought an old
Luxman L200 off Ebay and it has a warmth and sweetness I've not heard
from any other amp, and which is definitely not imaginary as it took
me quite by surprise. I wonder if you have any explanation for that.

(1) It was a sighted evaluation, right?

(2) Frequency response as measured into a loudspeaker load

(3) Remaining standard audio measurements which can be accomplished in an
automated fashion using the Audio Rightmark freeware and a PC with a good
audio interface.
