" But my results also have shown that I could distinguish ... d) a solid-state amp from a tube amp"

Well you demonstrated you could distinguish a particular amplifier "A" from another particular amplifier "B" and one happened to be solid state and the other tube. I did that myself at someone's home recently and of the 20 or 30 people present, I don't think there was anyone who didn't hear a difference and there was general agreement of what that difference was. And what was it? The tube amplifier, apparantly a Chinese clone or similar to a Dynaco Stereo 70 had considerably elevated and to most listeners colored response in the upper midrange and lower treble compared to a digital solid state amplifier from Italy which seemed completely neutral. But of course, these were sighted comparisons, who knows what would have resulted from a DBT.
