Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Feedback - Part 4

Yes and triode amps have the best linearity of any amplification device ever made. ARe they completely linear? No, but they are linear enough to get away with any feedback beyond degeneration (sometimes even without that). The only other device that can kind of do this is the FET if run in Class A and without feedback beyond degenration.

The thing not mentioned is what feedback does to the distortion characteristics beyond just the level of THD and IMD. It has a clear impact on the pattern of those harmonics away from a low harmonic order dominant to a high harmonic order dominant pattern.
