Pro studio recording equipment and music production/industry.

Read my lips, no new taxes.

It's not the input signal that is the reference, but your concept of what the reference is that is the reference. What are you basing your immutable and absolute claim upon? Test tones and noise for making distorion measurements, or music? Sorry, but your concept is much too neat for this complex and chaotic world.

Too often I hear people tell me something sounds good, when in reality what they based their judgment on was that they didn't hear anything particularly bad. For all practical purposes, if that's how you base you listening judgments, then all amps do sound the same.

Everything is quantifiable? How do you quantify the difference between Nebraskan corn-fed Hereford prime rib that's been boiled, broiled, baked, grilled, smoked, or deep-fried? Not a single test you can run can tell you how it will taste. It will always come down to taking a bite. As it is with food, so it is with music.
