Distortion
Since the late 70`s I`ve always wondered why class (A) enthusiast and professional audiophiles look for an buy high end gear with the lowest possible harmonic distortion ratings; pay off the chain cash for gear like the Mctone,xx-7700,D'agostine, Merrill audio, Pure Audio, Vitus Audio, Pass Labs, Audio Research, Carry, M.Levinson, Conrad Johnson, Krell etc. Get it perfectly set up to listen to distorted music. Now I`m not knocking know one`s taste in music its there money there preference of what they like to hear it just don`t make since to me. Perhaps its one of the things we do in this bizarre beautiful hobby. Would anyone care to comment.
