You do realize I know the circuit you are listening to.
Something else is happening and they are blaming it on the zero distortion [settings]. They are using distortion as a partial countermeasure to the real issues. I happen to know exactly what the problem is with that circuit but I don't get involved with other designers stuff.
When I said I don't think the designers are thinking outside the box - I was giving them the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately they just don't know where to look to resolve the issues in their circuits. That's why things seem to have slowed to a crawl. They have run out of things to try.
A circuit can actually measure zero distortion and still not be zero distortion.Typically a sign wave test does nothing but tell how good a low frequency servo it is. Music is an entirely different matter.
Really good designers understand that carefully chose distortion is much better than no distortion.Not true. If that's what they think then they are not a really good designer.
