In my experience, it doesn't sound as benign or 'euphonic' as tape saturation - I refer to it as 'scar tissue' as it's obvious (and difficult to remove) once it's there. Short peaks are fine, but any longer and "ouch!"As usual, thanks for all of your helpful posts, particularly the recent SACD MCh discussion - I wish more people could/would hear it done well!
Best,
Graemme
