You would at my house. Maybe I have better, cleaner power at my residence. Metropolitan versus much smaller town with my power transformer right in my backyard. Who knows. Lots of variables. My 60 year old father in law who has fired rifles his whole life fell out of chair at the difference in Norah Jones voice switching power cords to amp only, this was years ago, with a MC402. My point is it’s easy to hear in some systems, some environments. My same amps sound like absolute garbage in my local Magnolia Best Buy as does everything else. I always believed places like that suck sonically in part due to bad power delivery.
