It makes total sense that you gain one set of information from long-term varied listening and another from the immediate A/B of a section that the switching devices provides. The one is more of a gestalt of the amp while the other provides details that might be lost in a fog of memory. Thanks again everyone for this informative discussion, and for keeping our tube amps from burning up should we try out a switcher!
How do you A/B amps in your system?
Comparing two different amps in my system of separates requires changing speaker cable connections, inputs, and sometimes system volume. Do you have any tricks you use to simplicity the switch over and minimize time between hearing one then the other? I know audio reviewers make comparisons between amps, but for me there is more subjectivity at play than say comparing two input components. Is this just the nature of the beast, or do you veteran listeners have tips and tricks!?

@toddalin Nice! |
@bassbuyer That looks like a cool one. I love that the VU meters are so broken down in the sub 10 Watts area. You can watch to see how often you get beyond the first watt! |
