Where are the numbers?

Posted by Tony Lauck on October 31, 2010 at 08:01:27:
I would find the arguments for non-linear effects to be more plausible if they could be quantified, e.g. percent distortion. To be most effective, the quantitative results should be justified by both modeling (simulation) and measurement (physical experimentation).

In the absence of any numbers my working assumption will continue to be that non-linear effects in active electronics are vastly more important than in wiring. The one exception is at connectors, where corrosion is known to create significant non-linear effects which can easily be measured and heard.
