This is meaningless unless the specific distortion profile is weighted by
the nonlinear masking effects of the human ear and perceptual mechanism.

**********. Distortion profiles are dictated by topology, not the specific
device used. A more linear device will exhibit lower levels of distortion.

I've already pointed out references elsewhere that THD measurements do not
in general correlate with human perception of distortion in blind testing.

**Non-sequitur. The best transistors are more linear than the best Triodes.

Please propose a test to compare the two.
