You guys have some funny spellings in your odd English version of the American language.






Not really (for the sighted test). The problem is that the biases we all suffer from are subconscious. It is impossible to remove them.
In the sighted test you propose, you would have the appearance of the two units - one might 'look' better than the other or be slightly bigger or heavier: that could colour your perceptions right from the get go.
One might be a 'respected' brand and the other might be a little known brand - again your perception would bias towards the respected brand.
One may cost much more than the other and it is reasonable (although incorrect) to assume that a $10,000 amp will outperform a $1,000 amp. And so on.
The only way to be sure to remove subconscious prejudicial biases is to not know which amp is playing at the time of your evaluation.
Also, if you are demoing the amps in your own home, how would you arrange for instantaneous switching between the two units? How would you level match them to 0.1dB?
The only way to be sure that you are genuinely hearing a difference, if you perceive a difference, is to do a true blind test. Preferably double blind, where the circumstances are controlled. This seems to me to be so incredibly obvious I am a total loss to understand the fanatical resistance it generates amongst 'audiophiles (I am not referencing you in this).
