SET amplifier Q
"John L Stewart"
Phil has shown us that the harmonic content of the amp he has for repair
varies quite a bit as the power level is changed.
** Duh !! The percentage goes up with output level.
You cannot stop paraphrasing a false characterising - can you ?
I would not depend on
curvature correction as a cure for amp distortion.
** Pompous bull**** and a classic " straw man " fallacy.
The THD may go down
but what about the higher order harmonics & IM?
** Converting a lot of 2H into a small amount of 3H can only be good.
It has been shown by many tests that these are the objectionable
components in the reproduced
sound.
** Blah, blah, blah....
Another ****wit "straw man" fallacy.
10% 2H distortion ( as seen with many SET amps) represents a HUGE amount
of IM with a complex wave - maybe as much as 50%.
Reduces music to purest mud.
