Jamie, I remember reading an article in Stereo Review where one of the editors decided to learn how much distortion could be heard in 'real world' listening to music. He got some of his 'golden ear' buddies together for a listening test with a home system. I don't remember all the particulars, but what stuck with me was the conclusion. All of these expert listeners couldn't hear distortion until it was well within single digit and/or double digit distortion. I haven't thought twice about measured distortion since. I started looking at things differently and ran across an obscure company named Electronic Tonalities.
If second order distortion has me listening to music for hours and wanting more. as apposed to a clean amp that has me fatigued after an hour or so, I'm all for the distortion.
How's that amp build coming along?
