RE: Do you realize

Why would it be valid?

>Distortion is only a problem if it is audible is it not?

Well..

>Do you watch the music on an oscilloscope or do you listen to it with your ears?

I use both to evaluate hardware quality.

>For me, I can easily hear the difference in quality and therefore I put my money into the best amplification that I can afford. So to me the effects are not small but make the difference between lifelike sound and tincan sound.

this just happens to be a site for technical discussions, so I do not think it is unreasonable to ask for evidence that goes beyond just 'I know what I hear'

>So you can claim to side with Geddes but I know that you have a Sharp Class D amp that was over $20,000 when new so you don't really believe that the differences in amps is small and inaudible now do you?

It's the facts that count not what I believe. I am simply asking you to back your opinion with something more than just your belief.

PS: small effect does not necessarily mean inaudible, at least not in the context used.
