Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ?


This is based on a post from another thread, where someone speaking to a studio mastering engineer, repeated a quote by this engineer, stating " most audiophiles like certain distortions ", and it quickly started a debate. I did not want to continue this on the other thread, as it had little to do with the OP's direction on his thread. What say you, Geoff, George, Almarq, Ralph, anybody......if this thread goes nowhere, I can always have it removed. Enjoy ! MrD.

Without reading all of this...
Strings.  The pure sound is the strings.
A violin a cello (etc) only distorts the sound from the strings, as it bounces around a bit before we hear it.   "Pure" is physics, and I love physics, but emotions are anything but pure.
