And also applying a subtle distortion to a single instrument doesn't
have anything like the same effect as applying that same distortion to
a multi-instrument mix.

Agreed. The IM effects you get with one instrument may be euphonic, while
the same levels of the same kind of distortion as applied to an orchestra
can be fairly distressing to any ear, even those belonging to tubophiles.


You don't need to use a mic a cable or a pre-amps either valve or SS to hear
that.
Just sit behind a French horn section of four players are hear the IM
acoustically:-)
