Distortion, where is it coming from?

Things are much much worse than you have described it. Actually, perhaps you've noticed, that almost ALL systems, even ones where the owner might swear up and down that the distortion has ben reduced to near ZERO, distort when the volume is pushed up past a certain point, that point in fact NOT that loud as to be confused with clipping or speaker distortion or any such thing. The distortion actually occurs at a fairly modest volume level. That should not happen. The reason for this distortion at rather modest loudness levels actually has NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH THE AUDIO SIGNAL! It has nothing to do with the signal in the electronics, with the AC in the house power or power cords, in cabling or anywhere else in the system. This distortion is produced by information fields that interfere with the listener's hearing ability. The good sound, the real sound his system is producing is in the room, the acoustic waves are very accurate and complete. But because the INFORMATION WAVES are interfering with the listener's brain, confusing and affecting his PERCEPTION OF THE SOUND, what he actually hears is a more compressed, more distorted and noisier version of what's in the room. INFORMATION FIELDS are not electromagnetic in nature, and they do not attenuate over distance, even great distance. They are somewhat like the Higgs field in that respect.

Cheers, GK
