When I was much younger and with decent hearing about 35 years ago, I was present during a one hour-plus 'shoot-out' at my high-end dealer, Lyric Hi-Fi (Manhattan), and at that time its proprietor Mike Kay who sold both Mark Levinson equipment (the man) and Audio Research Corporation, conducted that experiment. One the amps was the tubed ARC D-79, the other a ML amp having the closest electronic capabilities and characteristics.
*None* of us, including MK, another customer or myself could tell them apart, so all the theories in the world including the one you mentioned, notwithstanding to me amount to BS. In that case it also seemed to apply to tubes vs. SS, so just call me Julian Hirsch and let's be done with it.
(Mike Kay claimed he could hear which of the two was the 'better', but he was not going to tell us. I think it most probably was the one which most fattened his bank account.)
