Well, Scott,
No. LOL. I understand all of what you said, and if the answer to my question is 'it just sounds better to my ears' then I can deal with that. It may also be possible that I'm no longer actually able to hear that big of a difference, or identify that difference, as I get older.

I've never said that having harmonic distortion is a bad thing, I know it imparts a certain quality to sounds that many people like.

Gary.
how interesting that you have an mg mixer and a lavry.
ive read some of lavrys papers, and i have lots of respect for him.

would you mind doing a favor sometime ??

it doesnt necessarily have to be sung.
spoken word would be fine.
if you could do a short say 30 sec spoken word
recording firstly useing the mg mic pre,
then another useing the lavry mic pre...
i would enjoy hearing the sonic difference tween the two.
for fun you could post a 30 second of each n let folks
guess. i would just enjoy hearing the differences.
all the best.

Gary -- Check into the very big differences between EVEN ORDER harmonic distortion (usually considered to be musically desirable) and ODD ORDER hd.

Manning,
I'll try to do that for you. Won't be for a while yet, but I'll get to it.

Mac, I'm sure that even order harmonics would be much more desirable than odd order. I didn't really want to get into a discussion of distortion or anything like that, I just wondered why people preferred that 'tube' sound. If it is indeed because of the distortion, that's really all I need to know.

Gary, there are explainable reasons why even is considered more pleasing.
If you do want to understand why, but don't want to have a discussion, do as Mac suggested and read about the difference.

Well, Bob, it wasn't even so much about even or odd harmonics as much as harmonics or no harmonics. Basically the question was why tube and not solid state?

The impression I'm getting is that people prefer the distortion. I don't really know why, I guess it is the harmonics it introduces.
