[QUOTE="Shonver, post: 13632, member: 34"] As indicated, the explanation is a simplification, but not too far off the truth. Yes, this is what I meant by In practise (now not talking about single-device stages), the distortion products are a mix of odd- and even-order harmonics. How they are mixed determines its sound characteristics. Not all valve amplifiers need to sound "valvey". It is possible to make one with very low distortion. But I'm not a valve expert, and would not know how to do that. Valves can be very quick. Many are used as RF amplifiers. The circuit topology will determine its fidelity. Please see Ampdog's earlier comment regarding detail/complex signals http://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,1212.msg13449.html#msg13449. I also recommend that you check out the link I posted in my previous post. [/QUOTE]
