You are confused with the math. Comparing an amp with 7.5% distortion to one with 1% distortion is a 6.5% "point" improvement, however it is a 87 percent improvement. Yes, this is significant.
If an amp has 0.12% distortion at one watt, an 8% improvement will give you 0.11% distortion at one watt. Yes, there are quibbles about a manufacturer claiming that that is significant.
Which model of gauss meter did you purchase? Do you average the reading over the entire LP or does the whole thing have a positive and negative pole?
