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;

*Who's* "point"? It may be your point, it certainly isn't mine.

Who cares?

Well apparently *you* do, otherwise you wouldn't have been so keen to tell
us what "the point" was!

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.

So as far as you are concerned a mirage is just as good as a real oasis,
just as long as you can *see* it!


Sure, if all you want to do is look at it; the illusion falls apart if and
when you want a drink - which is a bit like wanting Bjork's autograph
after listening to one of her recordings in your own room.


The point (*my* point) is that if the apparent difference in sound is
actually an illusion, and you are spending money chasing that illusion, they
you are fooling yourself in an expensive manner. Why not just stick a photo
of an SET amp in front of something readily available and cheap? it should
sound just like an SET to you.
