Do you understand your amplifier?


I see a lot of people talking about the sound of their amplifier. Simply out of curiousity I would love to know how many audiophiles actually understand why their amplifiers sound a specific way. Simply put, how many Audiophiles understand the circuitry of their amplifiers. There is no right or wrong answer. I am just curious.

I really do not care why, probably should, but don't. I care what it sounds like, how it grips the speaker, as it were. Just does it produce the magic, does it make the speaker sing or is it just a lot of hot air moving about making sound but not music.
I thought I did...but one of us is schizophrenic! No I am not! Yes you are! Shut up I wasn't talking to you! Benny where's Benny?
I have a pretty good understanding of amplifiers and have over the years developed a preference for certain types of circuit topology. However, I moved to valve amplification several years ago and haven't really auditioned any of the newer amps. Valves simply sound better to me and I've moved on and settled in. I wish I had done it many years ago.
