If you ever tried a blind comparison of a Yamaha receiver vs. a Halcro

Please tell us about the blind comparisons of those two amps that you
have done.

Or, alternately, point us to such a test that anyone has done
regarding those two brands.

TIA.

You supply the Halcro equipment and I'll bring the Yamaha, or whatever
reciever I think will be able to compete.

Oh, I see. You HAVEN'T done any blind comparisons or know of any that
have been done.

How can you make a statement like that, then?

Because it's generally true, amplifers tend to sound alike.

Someone might as well
say, "If you ever tried a blind comparison of X amp and Y amp, you'd
discover how much superior the sound quality of X amp is". Wouldn't
you not take exception to such a statement?

I'm not discussing quality, that's a matter of taste. It is instructive
however, to note that without difference of sound there can be no difference
of sound quality. IOW, if it doesn't sound different, it can't sound better
or worse, it just sounds the same.

Becuase most amplifers are flat in their response and have inaudible noise,
sufficient slew rates, low crossover distortion and so on, they tend to
sound alike, unless designed to do otherwise.
I'm shocked that you didn't know this already. It's been discussed many
times here.
