You may perceive differences but you cannot say 'this one sounds better'.
Sure I can.
I use recordings I made as a reference (I have them on LP and CD). I know what they sound like- I was there when the recording was made. My speakers at home are easily driven- they are 16 ohms, 98dB and are flat to 20Hz (Classic Audio Loudspeakers T-3 special edition). At power levels of less than a watt I can easily hear differences in amps and also can tell which is 'better'. That first watt is very important, so much that Nelson Pass has an amplifier line named after it.
