Need Advice on Amp Audition at a Dealers


I'm thinking I should take my present amp to swap in and out for comparison. Should I be doing anything else?

I’ve done this a few times and to be honest the results are mixed at best. Different speakers, room, cables, partnering electronics, etc., completely mask the differences in the amps. Unless you’re comparing very different types of amps, e.g, low power tube to mid-hi power SS, etc., then the experiment is worth the effort. My experience, YMMV.
