General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Re: Not at all

"General Electric did point out that they only need to exist in vanishingly small amounts. Human hearing uses higher odd-ordered harmonics as the means to determine how loud a sound is."

I have no reason to dispute this, even though I have yet to see the paper. however

"have already pointed to the tests you can perform easily at homw with a 'scope, an audio oscillator and the amps themselves. If you do these tests yourself this issue will become abundantly clear"

is an exercise in futility as I have already presented data in this thread that shows a cost-effective SS amplfiier that has lower high order harmonics than some of the best measuring tubes amplifiers (i.e. the Lamm) out there, the SS also have much lower overall distortion. I have also presented data of a well-regarded tube amplifier with more odd order harmonics than many SS amplifiers. In other words, the distortion spectrum is circuit dependent, however SS circuits generally have much lower distortion than their tube cousins.
