Re: A straight answer: DBT's are strong evidence not all components sound different & most manufacturers don't like th

That's funny. My Crown K2, Dynaco Stereo 400, Stereo 70 and DC Coupled all triode OTL (homebrew, output damping factor >100) all sound distinctly different from each other on my basement blaster spEakers with or without exact level matching, and I already own all four amps. Btw, within its power range, my OTL has the best bass of the four.

I also have a Crown K1 and the extent to which it sounds different than my Crown K2, even at lower levels, on this setup was a bit surprising. They're much more similar than different sounding, but the K1 has noticeably less 'body' which I believe is a function of distortion, supply regulation, etc. in this case, even at levels of a few watts.
