It'd be very funny "experience" if it'd ever happen.

Hi.

But I doubt as who'd pay for such gimmick show & to prove what?

Many shake their heads saying decent sound can hardly be found in any audio shows though.

I had some positive experience when I was invited to a major sonic boutique in town to attend their open-house new products show years back, co-sponsored by the products suppliers, like Mark Levinson, KEF, B&W, Wilson etc etc.

In one of the sound rooms there was a VTL (Vacuum Tube Logic) amps show.
The flagship Votan, with tetrode-trode switching was on, driving the top B&W. I requested the VTL rep to switch to triode mode which I found it sound so much better.

But the guy said we could not hear no difference at all. I said I could hear the difference despite pretty noisy around there. So I was put on a test instantly by A/B switching betwen tetrode vs triode with my back facing the speakers & the amps. Everytime I was correct in identifying the better sound - triode mode.
