. . . . but that's because the horrendous 5% distortion in the A8A is masking it.In order to be prepare for some bad THD-N numbers in Gene review I was wondering when I would be able to start to hear distortion. While I am able to perform quite good comparing compressed vs uncompressed audio file, I am starting to hear and identify distortion at about... 8% in the first test and 1% in the second one and 2% in the last one lol...
Nah, I've done similar tests (though will try that one later) and get similar results.
edit: that test is actually one I've tried before, quite good.
I think it was the centre channel and two surrounds which got 0.05% close to 4V output. I think all loudspeakers have far more distortion than that.
In a past post I jokingly said that Gene might be waiting for the next firmware update before posting his review - but maybe that's actually true. I don't know exactly what he was talking about when he said 'hot mess' ages ago, but I'd be grateful if he'd provide a little more explanation before his actual review.
