The last time I tested an amp against itself I heard a difference.....

Most amps sound quite different 15 minutes later relative to when they're first turned on.....

This is why most listening tests should be done with the amps running at least a couple hours.

And I think this is why people tend to hear "improvements" from tweaks..... And why people tend to prefer "B" over "A" when doing an "A-B" evaluation. (How often do you read about a tweak making things sound worse?)

I agree about amps sounding better 15 minutes after turn on. The same amp may differ. - Norm 06:42:33 07/02/07 (0)
