Even and odd distortion products in nature? What's he talking about? Play
a violin in the open air, what distortion does the air create that the
microphone doesn't pick up? Yes, I know air isn't linear at very high
levels, you can compress air as much as you like, but you can't rarefy
more than one atmosphere, but by the time you get to measurable let alone
audible distortion levels, you would be dead! However, whatever distortion
levels exist in the air, the microphone would pick up. So, what's he
talking about?


**** knows - I don't actually read that sort of crap, as anyone here will
tell you - I Google a key phrase, then scan-read (or Ctrl F) for salient
points relative to the topic in hand. (It's a common enough procedure used
by a few here, but I usually just point to it, I don't claim it as prior
knowledge as some others do....!! ;-)



As to the silver wire and other exotic components, come off it! If you
like the amounts of distortions coming off a SET fine, but don't pretend
it's accurate. (or realistic)


Don't hit me with the 'accuracy' stick Serge - I don't give a rat's about
accuracy over sound quality and have *never* made any claims concerning it.
I *do* know what I perceive to be more *realistic*, however....

Sorry, but I *was* foaming a bit. I was aiming my comments at the writer.

As I said to you - not being a designer or manufacturer, I'm much more
interested in the 'sound' than the signal per se., but obviously, I *do*
regard the sound I'm getting these days with SETs as being more *realistic*
(as well as more pleasant) or I quite simply wouldn't bother with them.....
