Interesting to ABX, level matched.

I hate to sound like an ingrate but the Ruarks and their associated amps
combined to add fairly massive amounts of even order distortion - no doubt
10%. It is audible, man is it audible! Note what happens to the sound of the
triangle.

The nonlinear distortion is also hihgly visible in a visual display
(CoolEdit). The source material being hihgly clipped, has very symmetrical
tops and bottoms. After a trip through the amp+speakers, it is very
asymmetrical.

If you like your percussion extra crunchy, this might be your preference. I
like my percussion crisp, if that is how the origional recording is.
