That's why I consider myself an "Audio Enthusiast".
Good audio reproduction rooted in science and empirical evidence. Do I think a Carver TFM-15cb sounds different and even a bit better than a McIntosh MC7108?
Yes I do.... Why?
Because I have both amplifiers sitting in the same rack and have A/B'd them extensively. Honestly, the Carver's build quality is utter crap. Barely above what you buy in a box store, but damn does it sound nice. I use the McIntosh exclusively because it's just a better piece of equipment, even though it doesn't have those 2nd order harmonics that the Carver is tuned for.
