Re: 3rd harmonic distortion

Many audiophiles most highly prized recordings based on sound quality alone are analog recordings made with vacuum tube technology and with early transistor technology when the levels of distortion I think you are referring to could not even be measured let alone eliminated. And the medium of choice is the vinyl phonograph record usually recorded on magnetic tape and mixed down to another magnetic tape. Whatever the merits and strengths of vinyl recordings and for that matter analog tape, lack of harmonic distortion and noise isn't one of them.
