Default Good amps all sound the same do they?

I can hear..

Interconnects - too easy.
Speaker leads - sometimes subtle sometimes more obvious. I've certainly
heard them change the brightness. Some have punchier bass.
Platforms under amps - again varies - once for me, quite astonishing.

I would say that almost anything placed in the analogue signal path which
is not audible is very much the exception.

I can't hear..

Absolute phase
Green pens
Day/night mains effects.
Miracle sticky pads or whatever PB comes up with.

Cheers,

Bob.

You don't actually live that far from Stew. If you are not full of
crap, but sincerely believe you have these abilities, then I think the
trip would be well worthwhile for you - both in terms of shutting the
rest of us up once and for all, and of course the small detail of a
huge wedge of cash in your pocket. As you stand at the moment you are
simply hot air.

I suggest you take your favourite high quality interconnects with you
as they will absolutely guarantee you walking away with the money.
