Non linear gain transistor (all fet and BJT): odd order harmonic distortion generated.
Linear gain transistor (Just V-Fets): Even ordered harmonic distortion generated.
~~~~~~~~
A general note:
the human ear: incredibly sensitive to non linear transient distortion. That’s pretty well all it does, is detect that. This is how the ear works, fundamentally. Down to the less than a few hundred thousandths of a second on a pair of transients.
Never mind the sensitivity to harmonic mixing and levels, and added in is that this is all done by the world’s most sophisticated FFT analyzing hardware: the human brain.
since this is directly tied to learning, discernment, intelligence neural connectivity and so on, it varies among people as much as the human IQ range.
So we can get to audio intelligence on a rarefied level and then back to the other end of the scale, where rudimentary hearing could be the description.
so we can’t let Mr rudimentary hearing yell at us that ’it is all the same’.
It is all the same..sure... if your hearing takes the shape of the IQ of a gut shot open sore covered pear on skid row.
These are indisputable established facts about human minds and human hearing.
One should not try to debate it, unless one wants to show everyone how little one understands and little one knows. To do so, is to come onto an audio forum and say something akin to : ’I just peed my pants’.
If a person can accept even just a whiff of that, then they’ve bought the whole thing as it’s like pregnancy, there is no ’just a little bit’ pregnant. If it is real at all..even in the slightest... then so is the rest.
Thus, stay out of the cable debates and out of the fuse debates and whatnot, as one’s place is not there. Leave it to the people who hear it as they are like high end physicists in debate - when it comes to hearing. It’s their area, let it go. If you don’t have the chops, STAY OUT OF IT.
This is why cable debates and whatnot are being banned at forums. For all the right reasons. All of those reasons are human, logical, scientific, and utterly real.
