How do you A/B amps in your system?
Comparing two different amps in my system of separates requires changing speaker cable connections, inputs, and sometimes system volume. Do you have any tricks you use to simplicity the switch over and minimize time between hearing one then the other? I know audio reviewers make comparisons between amps, but for me there is more subjectivity at play than say comparing two input components. Is this just the nature of the beast, or do you veteran listeners have tips and tricks!?
@ghdprentice has it right, extended listening for each amp will tell which one is the best for you and your system. And you are right, you have to let the gear settle in for a while before you can truly judge its character, switching things around constantly will not give accurate results. I just went through this process in the fall, and am now selling an amp I thought I would keep forever. |
