It's certainly true that there is no "one best amp".
However, I find some reluctance on Forums like AudioKarma to describe the differences between the brands and between their individual products (probably because most Forum members are not skilled "reviewers" - people who can describe a sound with words).
Some of the fault also lies with those asking the question - who rarely describe their musical tastes and overall hardware requirements - which are necessary for any sort of recommendation.
Skylab's list is a good one, simply because all of those items are easily sold if they don't meet your needs. Other brands are less popular, even though they have adherents (eg the "woods"), and so they are harder to re-sell.

If there's one, then we don't need this thread and many internet forum. You must find your sound, it's a journey, but lots of fun.
