It's quite simple to look at a waveform going into an amp, and coming out. How much the two signals differ is measurable. In modern, well designed, amps (don't even have to be solid state), operating within their limits the difference in these waveforms in barely detectable with laboratory equipment that is many times more sensitive than human ears. When an amp it pushed beyond its limits, the waveform differs, once it differs enough the effects become not only measurable, but audible. This happens sooner with some amps than others. But the measurements are easy to perform.

With displays, you can look at the values contained in the input signal, and use a meter to see what's coming out of the display. The input and output on modern displays differs quite a bit. So video displays are not a technology that has matured to the point where they can reproduce a signal with undetectable differences from the input.


ClubNeon - a simple waveform - yes. Who'd want to listen to one of those anyway? It is when things get complicated, complexified that they get interesting and beautiful... like music.
