Almost lengendarily so.Yup but really boring music.

Those poor guys. They have some of their gigs recorded by a guy who does his job a bit too well, the recording becomes famous among audiophiles, and those musicians get dumped on as the epitome of "musicians you wouldn't really want to listen to" decade after decade ever since.
Casino Royale comes to mind.Yup but really boring music.

Yes that is a dilemma, but I have it i the stack.
I also have good music that is recorded very poorly.
So the dilemma is why can’t we get good musicians linked up with good sound recording engineers?
I guess it is budget, and something about no standards in recording?
You mean the Burt Bacharach Casino Royale on Colgems LP as part of Harry Peason's super disc list.Casino Royale comes to mind.
I am generally more easily bored by non-classical recordings because I am biased in favor of classical music and there is an increasing number of instances of good musicians being recorded very well.So the dilemma is why can’t we get good musicians linked up with good sound recording engineers?
The 2nd and 3rd are both innocuous to the human ear and can mask higher orders. The 3rd is dominant in our OTLs as well.Unfortunately, that isn't actually the case. The dominant harmonic is, surprise surprise, the third.
Actually I provided a link to Bruno's article earlier.Feedback only increases higher order distortion if there’s not enough. Read the F-word by B Putzey. Most solid state amps have more than enough reducing all distortion to much lower levels than a SET (which I consider an effects box, a distortion generator.) Let me guess, you sell tube amps.
But boring as hell.An absolute stunning recording.
I was hoping you were business-busy. My sincerest sympathies.Sorry I've not been active recently to pursue this. There was an unexpected death in the family.
Sorry about your circumstances. Take care of yourself and your family.The 2nd and 3rd are both innocuous to the human ear and can mask higher orders. The 3rd is dominant in our OTLs as well.

I'm hoping to be more active here next week.
Welcome back, so sorry about the family difficulty.I have a little more time.
Something that has been bothering me about this proposed test is @SIY suggesting that I pick a distortion profile based on a certain frequency. In terms of applying this profile to a certain musical cut, this does not make sense to me, as my experience in the design world is mirrored by a comment found on the Audio Precision website, which I quoted earlier as well as the simple fact that when dealing with a variety of frequencies at once, the distortion is obviously not that of a single frequency. Bruno explained why in his article (the 'F' Word) which I linked earlier.
Put another way, we would have to have the distortion profile of not just one frequency, but a band of them and even then I don't think it would be accurate.
Since Siy seems to have one of the beasties on hand, I'm wondering if it can be included in the signal chain while driving a standard test load at a reasonable power level, with levels matched?
Three more cuts:
Algunas Bestias, Canto General (Atma-Sphere recording)
Dias Irae from the Verdi Requiem, RCA Soria series recording
'Special Cases' Massive Attack
You misunderstand the software.Thanks.
I might misunderstand here but in a musical cut, there are harmonics created all over the place. If I pick a particular profile, we only see those harmonics, which will be orders of magnitude less than what the amp actually produces. Or am I misunderstanding how this software works??
That's tee many martoonies!^Remonds me^ of the ten martinis.
