HERE!!!

But only with regard to the electronics portion of audio chains. My view has been stated several times in this forum, including this recent post. My belief is, when you are given two clearly different-sounding amplifiers, you will also detect some measurement differences if you try hard enough with the methods available today. In other words, measurements on the electronics (even tube amps) are "clean" enough so that it is relatively easy to ascribe even subtle differences in measured values to sonic differences.

I don't think I qualify as an auronihilist when it comes to loudspeakers. But there is a big caveat here -- the simple fact that different speaker designs ALWAYS measure differently. And the measurement differences are in fact quite large. Essentially, there is no way to test the hypothesis: all components that measure the same, sound the same when it comes to speakers. But I do believe that there still are lots of aspects in loudspeaker sound quality that cannot be readily measured and quantitatively expressed even by today's cutting-edge techniques.

Definitely not with loudspeakers....but how about with poweramps?

Yes, as I said above, I do believe that two different-sounding power amps will measure differently, if you try hard enough in measurements.

I agree with sushi that for the electronics segment of the audio reproduction system, there is always a quantifiable measurable difference, but with loudspeakers, as sushi said, it's much harder, if not impossible.

I was replying to Sushi in jest and was not contradicting what he was saying. Sushi knows many a times people have gone down this path saying power is power on here. It will not make a speaker better sounding. Based on my experience it does but I remember once he did say his receiver does not sound any different than this Adcom power amp. Again this was just a jest. I do not want to go down this path again.

Peace brother
