| Amp Specs esp. DampFactor : Citation, Adcom, etc. "...The result would be examined for odd-ordered harmonics so a listener fatigue/brightness rating can be assigned. Then the lower ordered harmonics can be analyzed so a low-order coloration (warmth, caramel, syrupy) value can be assigned. "I beli... | |
