On a different note: Response to Morricab on Amplifiers

Quotes from the Jim Lesurf's article.

I have seen arguments that SE arrangements or those with no overall feedback, 'may have higher distortion, but this does not matter as they preserver harmonic content, and hence the timbre(sound quality) of the music.' Alas as the above results show, this argument simply does not hold water unless we listen to one note at a time and avoid anything but the simplest chords using perfect integer ratios!

Our model shows the asymmetric SE arrangement producing a complex set of anharmonic distortion products, and more at a higher level than the corresponding PP arrangement. The resulting alteration may sometimes be pleasing, but is it fidelity?...
