Both of you speak from NO listening experience with this technique, especially properly executed. Your lack of experience allows me to write off your "guesses and comments" as useless, which IMHO, they are.Sincerely,

Jeff, I deleted my previous response. I do not want to get caught in negative exchanges with you - they are miserable experiences that achieve nothing that justifies the effort.
As you know, I sought the type of experience you apparently demand. The reality is that you repeatedly mandated that experience be limited only to your Rx. Any expression of creative or independent thought - especially experimentation with other methods - has been vehemently discouraged. This behaviour has been repeated continually in our personal correspondence. Because of this, I requested that personal communication between us cease. I will endeavour to extended this agreement to public exchanges as well.
All the best to you Jeff,
91.

Jeff,
you like the sound of a dynamic volume expander and distortion. That is okay, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with creating a unique sound generating machine.
dynamic volume expander and high distortion I disagree with.
bandwidth limited yes.
There was a post by tube wrangler that claimed -1/2dB at 19KHz or something to that effect.
Perhaps the EML tubes and all his other special techniques allow for such performance from a SE 7B4 DC 2A3 circuit.
my point was that claims of high distortion are exxagerated.
Based on your ARTA graphs, the distortion of the SE 12AX7 DC 2A3 was NOT unusually high from what I remembered seeing.IMO, it looked OK.
Not sure how much your SE 2A3 circuit deviated from what DF or JM have done.

since jeff's circuit is a moving target I'm probably off by a mile. :)
I'll take the high road on this, because there's no such thing as "winning" this argument. But for the record, I meant no criticism of your preferred approach; I merely recommended that you might try another that is diametrically different, just to hear the result for comparison.
