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.

It’s Italian - I like a lot of Italian stuff. It’s got tubes - I like tubes. It has moderate power - moderate power tube amps sound best to me. I have enough things in my life demanding understanding. I engage my stereo system to help me forget them.

Of course, if I did understand my amp, I might feel differently :)

" Do you understand your amplifier"

Yes, we have a mutual understanding.

I don,t ask of her more than she is capable of and she does exactly what she claims she is capable of.

If this isn't maintained we divorce and I sit and try to figure out what happened while she looks for someone with a bigger and fancier power cord .
