If you like vinyl and SET amps, you are dismissing Hi-Fi Choice's blind test schemes. It was Hi-Fi Choice that rated the Pioneer A-400 over the Audio Note Ongaku. It was Hi-Fi Choice that called vinyl 'legacy'.
The only tube amps Hi-Fi Choice consistently liked when I read it was EAR, and they don't sound like tube amps!
I don't need to cite references on this. They are all the stuff of document. If you've read the magazine for long enough, you will have read things like this.
I think you like the idea of blind tests rather than the results of blind tests. The Hi-Fi Choice reviews I read would never talk about melting hearts unless someone was being cremated. It was far too dry and fusty, and that would introduce a fatally high dose of enjoyment in audio.
