That's a dumb question, Klaus. Since when do we have double blind tests on non-linear cap distortion? If you like to listen to distortion, be my guest. It adds that slight 'edge' to the sound that is typical of mid fi.
I can't find my 'Audio' article date at the moment, but you will get the same info from:
IEEE Mar 1978, IEEE Audio and Electroacoustics meeting in Tulsa, Oklahoma pp 263-266.
Why don't you get some test equipment and measure it yourself? Ever actually get your hands on test equipment?
