Theory says that negative feedback always improves distortion.
However there are examples from the past of commercial amplifiers with plenty of feedback and no particular sonic benefit.
Why?
The benefits of feedback depend on circuit topology.
Let's see with this old Rogers amplifier.
Omnes feriunt, ultima necat.
