[QUOTE="joel, post: 97465, member: 406"] Richard Clark is on record as stating that amplifiers sound diferent. He has said (and this is from memory so possibly not an exct quote) that he could degrade the sound of a solid state amplifier to make it sound like a valve amp. To do any amplifier or source component test properly you need to Be able to seamlessly switch between the products. Carefully level match all components (to within 0.1 of a dB(spl or v,)) I can have a switch box made, but obviously there is some cost involved. Should I get a component list so those with the elevant skill can get quotes on parts (from Mantech ;D)so we can get an idea of cost? If we did such a test it would have to be a simplified version, and would recomend using an array of music (possibly the same disc I used for the cable session) and listen to the amplifiers at low level (say 0.5 v), mid level (around 5v) and high level.
