I looked at the Gordon link. NO distortion spec. I guess they don't
have any. Since others say that can't be so, someone is mistaken.

Most complete set of pre specs I've found on the web. Even temp spec'd.
I looked again. Still NO DISTORTION SPECS.
I maintain that any preamp with audible distortion is being abused.
Unless, of course, that's what you want. And then, I guess you want
the more expensive "less annoying" distortion rather than the less
expensive more annoying distortion.
There is no perfect signal path. Even sans abuse, a pre's distortion
products contribute to what we hear, or do not hear.
So ... INAUDIBLE distortion, something we DO NOT hear, contributes to what
we DO hear? Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's ...
the sky!
Tell me how you separate the inherent distortion from the source signal?

I don't think you appreciate how good the broadcast gear you used really
