Your argument is quite familiar. However, as I said, the object of the exercise is not to establish some kind of universal truth about whether the amplifiers are technically different or even result in different sound waves coming out of the loudspeakers, but rather to identify which one I prefer listening to. Whether or not my ears are "lying" to me -- which is a rather meaningless and provocative comment in itself -- is entirely irrelevant to that process: they are the only way I have of hearing anything, and I am not using them as measuring instruments so their "honesty" or lack of it is a moot point.
