Not meant to be a flame, really.What speakers are you using for this comparison? CD player? cables?
Likely, your other components are introducing such a sonic signature (more like an "X" in purple crayon) that you won't hear the difference between amps.
Take others' advice and walk into a hifi shop and listen. I build interconnects and my girlfriend can pick which pair is which 10x out of 10 on music she is familiar with - you should be able to discern different amps.
Since there is no such thing as a "properly" designed amplifier, it's all a matter of trading one sonic signature for another. Some of us hear beautiful music in what you would call "distortion" or "lies." Apparently our ears pick up on something that matters less to yours, and the test equipment.
Sometimes, I wish I was in your position - it would save a lot of time and money.
