RE: Unfortunately...

That's right and certain kinds of distortion are actually preferable to many listeners. Long ago THD measurements below a certain threshold were considered moot - but last time I looked it wasn't unusual to see equipment with THD measurements above that threshold of audibility. But it's been awhile and I'm not so sure that it's true these days.

I'm not one of those who thinks the "better" the spec the better it's going to sound. If there was an answer to what sounds best all equipment would sound the same.

Far as I know, for many manufacturers, equipment design isn't about achieving the best specs it's about achieving the best sound. And there's nearly infinite opinion on what sounds best.
