Jon Risch distortion test signal

[E-Stat]

What you really mean is a "story" that meets all your requirements.

Nope. I mean simply results > 1 with equivalent gear

How would you know? You haven't asked them.

That assumption would be wrong.

Why not ask a scientist or an EE?

You're batting zero on the wild guesses. I have spoken with about half a dozen EEs who design and build audio equipment.

You have said many things like "it is ridiculous to think that better components won't sound better".

You mistake me for someone else.

I am more than a little disappointed that you did not respond about your belief that "simple test tones" are inadequte to evaluate the distortion and frequency response of audio electronics.

I use deductive reasoning. If something measures great using one criteria and yet sounds bad, then that criteria is insufficient. My evidence, however, is based upon experience thus I do not post it here.

This is my liast post in this forum.

Good luck to you as well and happy listening.
