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.

As always, Phil is the contrarian. Hey Phil, I tried to send you a copy of the curvature correction stuff I found but the address I had for you at tpg.com.au no longer worked. Pls send your new address direct to me at-
johnnhelen4 at gmail dot com
And I will pass it along for your inspection & comments.
