Even my very hi-fi ignorant wife heard a difference when I swapped out my
defective amplifier with a mid-fi receiver.

The key here is that it was "defective". No one said all amps, broken or
otherwise, sound the same. The nominally competent qualifier exists
specifically to eliminate broken amps from the statement.

Not first time I did that either.

So for the 20 years I've been swapping and trading I've been hearing
things
!?! I need to see a shrink!

Depends on what you mean by hearing things.
