HS, lots of stuff to learn. God must be amazed at the size of this rabbit hole relating to his creation of hearing, a truly remarkable gift to our existance.
Single ended amps are not so obviously the purest thing around. They are
low power with lots of second order harmonic distortion. They react
with reactive speaker loads so their output is not flat. And they are
non-linear. They compress the negative half of a wave form relative to
the positive half.
@dynamiclinearity the first sentence explains the why of the last sentence- the two are one and the same.
