Nobody is telling you that all amps sound the same. It is just the good=

amps you are comparing are good amps.

NOW you change your tune!

Doesn't look like a change of tune at all. Looks like you need to be
reading more carefully.

The audibility of amps is well understood, to the point that you can
find it explained in college textbooks. Assuming two amps are both
capable of driving the load, and neither exhibits FR anomalies or
other obvious forms of distortion sufficient to be heard (which is
rare to unknown in modern SS designs), they cannot be distinguished by
ear alone. If you've got data demonstrating the contrary, please share
it. And please note, that's *data*.
