Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

RE: I agree - but it works both ways.

"Have you ever heard any differences between two solid state amps that weren't driven to clipping or otherwise operating outside their limits,"

Yes using very revealing speakers and in "blind" test too. The difference were small but if one used the right portions of music, then one could differentiate between several of them. Curiously (I thought) the differences were on the decay side of a musical transient, why that was i have no solid idea other than possibly a temperature effect within the circuitry.

In any case, it was possible to hear some differences blind IF one searched for musical passages that brought it out. A problem may be that because most hifi speakers are not even close to an idea device, it may be harder to hear these effects. If a person used a set of Manger's as near filed monitors, that should allow this, they are very good transducers except for a very limited output.
