for those who cannot hear any difference. It is hard for blind people to tell one color from another. The difference is that the blind don't pretend they can and make up lame excuses.
It took me seconds to tell the difference between two op-amp based phono preamps recorded in digital format posted on this forum. It was as blind as tests get.
I cannot imagine ever needing more time to tell two amps apart, assuming there is a difference. Identical amps with different brand names do not count. It's deciding which amp you prefer long-term that is difficult to do in a short test.
If listening and hearing are difficult, what in life is then not difficult?
