Dear @thekong : """
Always talking about distortion... """
the home system name of trhe game is exactly that: distotion levels on each home audio system and if you can't understand it after those several times I posted then I think something is wrong in your overall audio understanding.
""" but can you even prove the distortion level of your system is lower than any of our by any measure """
@thekong I don't know if you still own that " terrible " Aesthetix I/O all tube phono stage that I know very good.
Well, that unit manufacturer gives you no single distotions measures in a 20K + dollar unit and what they gives are " terrible " numbers for say the least:
output impedance: 1kohms where high frequencies are degraded/losted in his cable travel to the amplifier.
RIAA eq. deviation: swing of 0.5dbs from 20hz to 20kz.
noise level: 70 db.
Other than that, the cartridge signal must pass inside the phono stage for 6 different circuit stages where only because these so many stages the critical and sensitive cartridge signal suffer a huge degradation.
You love that unit and its quality performance levels. Do you know that unit everykind of distortion levels?, sure you do not and are asking me that I give you measures of my home system distortion levels!!!!!!!
Do you understand at least the complexity of what you are asking?
Certaninly not and that's why you ask.
We all need to learn about the name of the game: distortions and how to be aware of those distortions at each link in the home audio system chain.
Regards and enjoy the music,
R.
