Re: Does anyone really think this?

You are missing the audibility of those distortion products. Type is more important than level (did you read the Keith Howard experiment in Stereophile? Or the Cheever Thesis?). If the distortion is inaudible up to a certain level then it is not really relevant. It turns out that even very low levels of high order harmonics are audible whereas quite high levels of low order harmonics are not. As to "preserving the harmonics" I agree that this is gibberish and a turned around way of saying that the distortion the amp produces is simply less audible if higher on an oscilloscope.
