So what difference, if any, did you notice (besides appearance)

I get the concept of what a good amp can provide for the sound, but I’ve never heard the difference the amp makes

The difference between any amp, a good amp and a Julian's America amp is 100% incremental, and far superior than having no amp at all.

Its kind of like guacamole. Even mediocre guac is far superior to no guac, and excellent guac is only marginally better than good guac.

Guac.

FLAC may be lossless but it really can’t replicate the warmth you get with SHN files with checksums.

There's an MC5/MD5 joke in here somewhere, but I'm too tired to think of it.
