Slew rate and slew rate limiting

It sounds like the Seventies.
It's interesting to note that slew-limiting (also going under the name
transient intermodulation distortion) isn't really a serious problem with
modern electronics any more. In great part that's the result of work by
Marshall Leach and Matti Otala back in the seventies when it was recognized
as a massive, massive problem.
When it sounds fine at low levels but it starts to get mushy as you turn
the gain up, slew limiting is apt to be the problem.

Oh, it _is_ still a huge problem with transducers, but what isn't?
