If the significance of this is lost on you - there is no point in trying

explain it.


I got it, I just wondered if you had come across any situation in which
a definite difference could reliably be heard. For example a flea
powered amp vs mammoth Krell type thingy both driving insensitive
current hungry speakers and so forth.



This question has no meaningful answer - whether amplifiers sound different
(as many designers, manufacturers, salesmen and magazine scribblers would
have you believe) or not is not the point; it's whether or not they *appear*
to, to you. Like a distant oasis in a desert - it's not a case of it being
real or a mirage, but whether or not you can *see* it.
