Default Audio amplifier design trivial?

I don't avoid that anyone avoid blind listening tests.


However, when you've got two amps, I suggest switching them to see
which one is preferred.


Or, if you have a PC with a good sound card and monitoring system, you can
do power-amp related DBTs by downloading files from
http://www.pcabx.com/product/amplifiers/index.htm . You can definitely

hear
differences in power amps using files from these pages. If you can't you
probably need to upgrade your listening environment or have your ears
checked.

Your results are of interest, but the combination of a particular amplifier
with a particular speaker are what concern the audiophile.
Nevetheless, I can't argue against the experience you provide, even though
it's useless for the purpose of choosing the combination.

Three Bryston amps and three competitive amps are listed there for

people's
listening pleasure. Power amp tests are tough, so I recommend that people
who are not familiar with the PCABX process start with the home page at
http://www.pcabx.com/index.htm .

An interesting education, which should force the conclusion that one should
test the intended amplifier/speaker combination together.
