Women perceive music holistically, they say " it sounds good" or " it sounds bad".
We man because we are emotionally retarded need to chop reality in digestible pieces, and observe different qualities of sound.
Elac310, if your amplifier scores 8 out of 10, from the table above, you have a very good amplifier, you should be proud.

filenet,
Thanks for the Chart!
Very comprehensive, and logical.
My 79 year old memory is transitory, so I need to print out the chart for my next listening session.
If your amplifier has 10 out of 10 . . .
You are Either drunk; Or you are on drugs, Or both . . .
Wait a minute, there are Only 8 Arrows, I guess my meds are clouding my logic.

I forgot that you are an engineer, you need exact instructions on how to use the table.
Each quality scores a maximum 10. You add them all and divide the number by the number of qualities(arithmetic average).

filenet,
It was a 'Mean' thing to say I needed to 'Average'.
But that is just the 'Median' answer I get, when they all are equal.
All the above puns are intended.
And . . . the math lesson above is also intended.
According to my count, your chart has 29 specific sound characteristics.
8 out of 10 would be exactly 23.2 characteristics out of 29.
Accuracy in math, indeed.
According to my calculations, most vacuum tube amplifiers are more accurate than that.
Found on a cereal box:
9 out of 10 doctors recommend Shredded Mini Wheat Cereal.
My question: what does the 10th doctor know that the other 9 do not?
I really love everyone and their posts!
It keeps my brain active and sharp.

You also said: Women perceive music holistically, they say " it sounds good" or " it sounds bad".
Does that mean my audio systems testing could be simplified if I got a wife?
What about the other new aspects of my life, simple or complex?
The 3 words a husband most fears to hear from his wife . . . "Notice anything Different?"
You are too late, and do not guess, you will be wrong.

It will be a mathematical mess if you consider that the qualities aren't equal.
I know what interest you: will it sound like the Salvation Army Choir?(got it from one of your unedited messages to me).
I suggest to take a pet, 10 of 10 doctors reccomend it.

May be forgotten.
I used as per original schematic 5k primary with 4/8 secondaries. Bought them in the 1990s from German maker - now defunct - Welter, guaranteed for 2 or 4Kv (can’t remember) insulation.

no.
Here’s a page from the internet archives. I used the HE-ET40 (20-80khz @-2dB), actually it had various primaries. Their transformers had an excellent reputation. 80€ a piece at the time

You mean on the test bench? No.
I relied on a lengthy discussion at the time with Mr Welter himself. The manufacturer designed them to support an amperage in the core higher than the 50-60 mA of the Uesugi circuit. The data from the page I retrieved refers to 120mA max, and welter measurements done @ 90mA.
I pushed my amp on some heavy electronic bass recordings to levels higher than I need and I found the sound not audibly distorted.
