Do a spectal analysis on the input signal and teh output signal and the only thing one should see is a difference in ampitude.
Actually if you buy into DBT's the "right" is tubes - the only DBT that could possibly worth a damn is the preference based ones. Tubes show up in DB tests and they are chosen over SS amps - maybe there is a reason like umm they sound more like the real thing perhaps. And Colloms found that even the top SS manufacturers prefered an older cheaper (in some cases FAR FAR cheaper tube amp. I thought that would be a good thing for the DBT lovers - the cheaper component chosen by the expensive SS engineers.

The measurements are irrelevant the ear is a far better instrument because unlike any and all measurements - it is connected to the brain which interprets the information it gets from the ears - that interface is the only I repeat for the sheep who don't listen but read - is the ONLY thing that matters.
