Yup, and that assumption has proved to be absolutely correct in all
properly controlled listening tests.

In my own experience the connection isn't quite so clear. Maybe my
empirical senses are faulty and/or science hasn't yet quantified the stuff
that makes an amp sound "good."

Correct, your empirical senses are faulty, just like the rest of us.


If our empirical senses are faulty, what would be an example of a properly
controlled listening "test" which would circumvent this problem ?


A level-matched double-blind ABX test. And there's no 'if' about it.



For some reason, I thought that you could be referring to something other
than the above. You certainly are so infatuated with it.
