Its not hard to understand.
0% distortion, no addition of odd or even harmonics across the board and what could it possibly add or subtract?. Exactly nothing.
Unfortunately, we are limited to what is actually available.
Distortion is inevitable. My point is that THD does not capture the overall event - even though by its name it suggests that it does (and this is what I am trying to say to the original post) There is a cross-over into auditory experience which can mean something to someone, and nothing to someone else. Subjective this or that.
Too many variables and I'd be rather in the garden than trying to tell you what I like, or dont like.
Actually... there's a thought.
Cheers.
