But John....


Statements like this:

"When TOTAL harmonic distortion is measured in tenths and hundreths of one percent, it doesn't matter how it is spread out."

certainly suggest that Soundmind is pretty fixed in his worldview. He made a statement that is completely unsupportable. I'm sure the response to any objection will be to demand proof that higher-order harmonics are audible...sigh...

How about if HE did a little research into the work others have done over the last 20 years BEFORE making ten commandments-type pronouncements? Engineering has moved on....

Here's an intersting question: did anyone ever PROVE that THD meant anything? It seems to have developed a near-mythical importance as a measurement, but I don't recall seeing any evidence that all harmonics ARE equal..

BTW, thanks for the New Year email -- right back at ya! I was off in Death Valley for the week, so I missed most of this wonderful thread...
