Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

...or a listener who can't tell a difference between amps.

I am, increasingly, on the skeptic side, when it comes to this hobby. On the one hand, let me first state that it is POSSIBLE for a difference to exist between A and B, and in some cases there may be a measurable difference. The only valid question is can you HEAR any difference? Dare you put yourself to a valid (blind) test? A large amount of this hobby is the psychological boost that one gets from owning X which is best, at least according to: the guy who sells it, your friends, and (almost never) proven by anything resembling an impartial test. Call me tin-eared, but I am (so to speak) very happy with my $500 power amp (actually <$300) and have the remaining $4500 or whatever to spend on other things that I enjoy in life, including other gizmos.
