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.

0. when looking at printed circuit boards with hundreds of tiny resistors and
various other devices, how do you design them? with a computer model?
1. global feedback
2. current gain stage
3. voltage gain stage
4. bipolar transistors
5. single-ended transistors
6. input stage
7. impedence- value of SS preamps VS tube and compatability with SS amps
8. power supply vs transformer vs capacitance
9. watts/amps/volts
