Why would you need a reference for comparisons, since all amplifiers

You did - you've just participated in a long thread which stated that
the scientific evidence was that ampliers couldn't be distinguished from
each other in DBTs. Jim gave you the references which you clearly
haven't had the courtesy to read, or maybe you don't want to read the
evidence so you can continue with your faith based assumptions that your
Krell sounds 'better' just because you want it to? That isn't science,
that's faith, and typical of the woolly self-centred rhetoric you use in
place of science.

Not certain what "Jim gave" that Andy is referring to here. But if it is the
two references I mentioned in the 'One for the bottleheads" thread, then what
Andy says about them above takes them out of context and makes a misleading
statement about them. The references neither say, nor provide evidence for,
the assertion that *all* amplifiers "sound the same". Nor, so far as I
know, has Stewart or anyone else I can recall ever claimed this.

Andy: If you want to make such assertions about what Stewart has said, then
please specify the time and date of posting of the statements you are
referring to, and quote them in context. This would then allow Stewart *and
others* to make their own assessments of your assertions, and of what he
has *actually* said. If you had read and understood the references I gave,
you would, yourself, be aware that they simply don't say what you assert.

Slainte,

Jim
