That is often true for food, but it is not generally true for audio gear.

While that is pretty much guaranteed for food, it isn't guaranteed for audio gear. > > So the non-linearity of a tube amp might work for me and I might like > the aesthetic. > Any nonlinearity is irrelevant to your listening experience if you can't hear it, which is likely. > > Nothing to do with the fidelity, as it is distortion. > Another false premise. If you can hear distortion then it has a great deal with fidelity, since audible distortion destroys fidelity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103980 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
