Some of the best amps were made by men that started out as TV-radio repairmen. Or some such, non-college educated career.

It doesn't take a college degree to gain an understanding of the theory behind audio electronics.
Anyone employing those theories while building an amplifier IS engineering the build.
An uneducated experimentalists might come up with something that sounds good but it would just be a fluke and he still wouldn't understand why it sounds good.
He might even start making up theories of his own (that have no basis in reality) as to why it sounds good and spend a lot of time on internet chat sites confusing the less educated.

"It doesn't take a college degree to gain an understanding of the theory behind audio electronics."
You may not need the degree and the tuition debt that goes along with it. But you will need at least college level technical knowledge to be successful designing audio equipment. The needed knowledge can not be obtained by trial and error. There must be disciplined study to learn the underlying theory and mathematics. While college level engineering and math may suffice for designing amplifier circuits, they will be inadequate for designing mixed signal (analog plus digital) devices such as DACs, which will require graduate level knowledge.
