I know about Fletcher-Monsun, this is not what I was talking about. I **was** talking about how the ear perceives distortion as a coloration, for example distortions of only 1/100th of a percent of the 5th, 7th and 9 th harmonics are perceived as brightness, despite the frequency response of an amp with such distortion as being otherwise flat.
The same is true of low-ordered harmonics will make the amp sound 'warm' or 'full', perhaps even bloated in the bass, despite flat frequency response.
Some CD players can exhibit so much inharmonic distortions that no amount of turning down the treble control can tame their brightness.
Do you understand now my point??
