Some specs do help but not all

For example, low noise parameter is something you can relate directly to the sound. Others may be less relevant as far as the so-called "sound" is concerned.

Perception of sound, and psychoacoustics is a complicated and controversial subject. Some people seem to perceive differences with different things like the tube architecture; Cryo treatment, era, color of the plates and even getter type etc etc., and others do not.

Best judge of the "sound" is you and your system.
