"I agree with you that at SOME level distortion is inaudible. Problem is that it is not at all clear how low is low enough."And not discovering what is in his dissertation is one of Cheever's many flaws in his arguement. How can the paper he cited from the 1930s where amplifiers had horrendous distortion be relevant in a world 70 years later where it can barely be measured. He fails to tell us why.
"Do you KNOW how low is too low Soundmind? Neither do I but I know that what is coming out of amplifiers today is audible."
That's an unfounded conclusion. It would take extensive DBT testing to prove that.
"You realize that it is possible for distortion that is BELOW the noise floor to be audible because it is correlated to the signal and the noise is not."
I don't see how. I could see that psychologists could argue that there is a subliminal effect but if it is lost in random noise I don't see how it could be consciously audible. If it is audible, then it is by definition above the noise floor.
