Blind fold hearing test

How many of you could be blind folded or put in a room in total darkness and know what kind of speaker amp and preamp are being used. Another words if u came blind folded in my listening room could u tell I was using a Krell amp a ARC pre and B&W speakers? Not necessarily the models but more or less the brands. I would be the first to say for me it would be no. Would love to see how many of you could. Should be interesting.

No I couldn’t. But...
- I could probably identify electrostatic speakers from any other kind.
- I’d have a fair chance of separating most valve amps from transistor amps.
- I could definitely tell if TC and/or mats were in use in the system or not.
- I could tell if adequate vibration damping/isolation was in place or not.

It would also depend on the hour of the day. I could make much better judgements after 12 midnight.
