Do not listen to audiophiles. Distortion and frequency response are the only things people can AB test reliably about sound quality.
Say that to a tube amp.
Massive dist, wonderful sound!
That's the point, distortion sounds good sometimes. You're not going to hear golden cables
There is horrible distortion too, I don't know what you want to say with that. I'm no "audiophile" with golden cables lol
I think the point is that you can distinguish distortion, not whether distortion is good or bad.
