The interesting thing there, is the statement that because it seems some
may prefer 2nd harmonics, this means that it "casts doubt on subjective
testing", not that it casts doubt on the validity of the measurement of
distortion :-)

In other words, the people who prefer the distortion are wrong, and they
should be ignored. And it clearly indicates that his goal was the
production of an amplifier that measured well, not one that people liked
to listen to.


I still listen to my Linsley Hood 75w power amp, 0.01% distortion at any level
up to clipping. I like to listen to it.
