What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds?


Amplifiers include tubes (if not solid state), big transformers, lots of internal wiring, Power supply, cabinet, gain controls if you're lucky, connections for incoming and outgoing cables, Computer chips,  Control panels, semiconductor boards, design choices, age,  etc.

Of all this stuff, what contributes the most to a change in how an amplifier sounds?

Hi @emergingsoul ,

This is a good question.I thought about it, to make stuff about tweaks on youtube. But my English is not good enough to do it. English is my 4th language. I am also not a good speaker in general. For me it is much easier to write.

Reminds me a bit of the old story where organs of the body are having a fight over who was most important.  Can’t remember what the plot twist was — something like the little toe saving the day.

But the moral was the organs make up a team, all of which is “most important” depending on what is going on.
