There is a lot missing from this article. First, it is triodes alone that
generate pleasing 2nd harmonic distortion. Pentodes generate odd harmonics
just as much as transistors do.
**So much nonsense, so little time to correct it. Why this myth continues to
be perpetrated is a complete mystery. The TOPOLOGY dictates what type of
harmonics are generated, not the devices. Push pull eliminates even order
distortion products. Valve or solid state.
Second the amount of distortion is level dependent. The output stages of
an amp create by far the most distortion. Any push pull amp output stage
will, by definition cancel most of the even order harmonics and leave many
nasty odd harmonics in the output - no better in that respect than a
transistor amp.
**Nonsense.
So, the ONLY power amp with mainly odd harmonics in its output will be a
triode SET.
**Nonsense. Where you do you get this nonsense from?
