Ha! Well agree that nobody likes sterile but I suspect I like what you call "sterile" where amps are concerned. I'm going to repeat something I've said before; ready??

I have lots of recordings that sound sterile but that's because they're not very good recordings. The bad news is my amp doesn't caramelize these recordings; the good news is I hear good recordings at their best.
