I would rather "lack the perceptive qualities to actually hear what is wrong with most amplifiers" than in your case and that of Ralph - lack all credibility. Clearly, blind testing has revealed little or no audible difference between most competently built amplifiers. All of the garbage you wasted pixels posting above amounts to nothing more than he said she said trash. The proof is in the listening and most people can't tell the difference between expensive tube garbage and the average modern day amplifier.
Moreover, you wouldn't know "scientific investigation" if it came up behind you and bit you on the ...

Perhaps freaks, psychos, and insecure audiophools are the only people with special acoustical perception powers to detect .005% 9th harmonic distortion from an amplifier that's being masked by 1.5% ninth harmonic from the speaker they are listening to. If that's the case, then great. The audiophools and freaks that are plagued by this malady will have to spend many thousands more for their equipment than the average person to avoid hearing this horrible distortion that no one else can hear.
Now that we seem to have this all sorted out, I will stop referring to tube and anti feedback fanatics as freaks and phools if you stop referring to the rest of us as incompetent.
