Interesting look at THD
Read it twice earlier.   Didn't see anything applicable to audio, regarding the industrial, "remedies" mentioned.   I must have missed something. 
Interesting look at THD
You do understand that the article concerns Variable Frequency Drives and Power Factor Correction problems, in an industrial/Three Phase environment, rather than audio, right? Just my opinion, having worked in that, as well as home and pro audio, ... 
Interesting look at THD
Yes, it and they are very interesting to look at! 
Agoners: Need Advice! Have 3K to spend on an Amp, what do I do with no way to audition?
You mentioned, "no audition" as a concern.  Both Odyssey and Sanders(Magtech) offer thirty day, no questions returns.  Klaus' amps are made right here in the Indiana and fit well within your budget. 
What to add or change for my system?
Do you have dedicated AC breakers and lines, going to your system/listening room’s outlets? I wasn’t so much surprised, as I was delighted, when I installed a couple runs of 10 AWG Romex(twisted together) to mine. And YES: room treatments/cabling! 
Anyone have a pic to show me where to replace HEXFREDS in a Cary CAD-120S?
"Two caps only."(per)   I'd want to keep the capacitance within 20%(and I always prefer the more side).   I've already put over $800 worth of Duelund coupling caps in the pair, not to mention a few other little expenditures.   This will take some ...

You answered while I was editing my post. Figured the TCs were the ones referenced. I was wondering how you accommodated them(nice work).

grannyring- Where’s a good place to find 1200uF/450VAC(or thereabouts) film capacitors? Seems they would have to be huge and very expensive.  ie: Eight Clarity TCs in 600uF/450V caps would take up over 67 square inches of landscape.  I do love the... 
What's your favorite album cover art ?

You've got mail!

Follow your hot and neutral power cord leads(within the chassis) and among first connections, you’ll find three diodes, connected in series to each AC lead. Three will be facing cathode to AC supply lead and three: anode to AC lead. Mine had a sin...

@oregonpapa:   What Charles said, +1!

Too bad there’s no Stereo Review, EarsR’goN blog site, to attract what must have been Julian’s fans. Such would at least divert some of the nonsense.  Sneers! 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Julian Hirsch would be SO proud! 
Crossover capacitor voltage ratings....
An interesting article, which includes a treatise on  amplifier voltages and output power ratings, keeping in mind that your crossovers may often be facing your amplifier’s peak output voltages(or, possibly, clipped signals) on louder music passag...
