... when put to the test ... using your ears, you cannot tell the difference between a $500 and a $5,000 solid state amplifier...
the statistics in the study show a 50-50 (50%)correllation--in other words, guesswork when using your ear to try to tell the difference between two solid state amps.
there was a statisticaly valid correllation for tubes--you can tell the difference...
