I just finished auditioning amps and can without a doubt tell you they sound different.  What I can also tell you is that it is like choosing your favorite ice cream.  Not sure one is “better” than another, but that you need to find the flavor that you like. 

And I can also see how after a few years it might be good to change it up a bit.
Julian Hirsch was also deaf in one ear. I spent some time with him thru the years and he truly believed that equipment which measured the same  sounded the same, well to him it did.
I've been deaf in one ear for 42 years.........and amplifiers don't sound the same to me.
I have one ear that is down 60dB in the middle and high frequencies, and I have horrible tinnitus on that side only.   My good ear still demands terribly good equipment.

And rightly so... I'm with you..

Good mono is better than scratchy stereo. I got a buddy in the same boat. He actually plugs one ear and prefers it when listening. He has a good EAR, still. 79 years old..
