Hi John.Anyone guess my position on this? It's always the same. As with the whole cable arguement, the level of harmonic distortion which is audible over an entire recording/reproduction system is something that should and can be identified with DBTs up front. This is the design criteria for the minimum performance of the system. And reliance on that research should be sought in professional journals, not consumer hobbyist magazines or related third party conversations. This is the starting point for determining what is required of each component and of the overall system. Then you can make an intelligent decision about whether a better design is warranted or of value. When no such standard exists, the makers and sellers can have a field day perpetually talking in generalities and perpetually introducing new models long after their older models have far surpassed any benefit improved performance in that criteria can offer in real usable terms. And hobbyists with more money than knowledge will continue to devour it.
