During the last year [writes Richard Oliver] I have been fascinated to note that others have come to a conclusion that my ears indicated a long time ago - ie, all is not well with some transistor amplifiers. Of course, there have been some stinkers of valve amplifiers too, but why is it all such a great mystery when it comes to transistor models? The case is oft-presented that this is something that seems to be audible but cannot be measured. I doubt it. I suspect that the right measurements, interpreted correctly, would show very clearly why things appear to be wrong. But before making a suggestion for a measurement that might well show up one reason, I ought to make it clear that I am not interested in crossover distortion.
