Well stated. However, at the risk of sounding pessimistic, I think that's
wishful thinking.

What bugs me is that most (if not all) SS amps that are overdriven generate
considerably more IMD than most tube amps would if overdriven by the same
amount.

I can pick out an overdriven SS amp almost as soon as I hear the signal.
And when we tune 3 kHz away and the signal is still fairly strong, there's
almost zero doubt that there's an SS amp behind that trash.

I think most people on this list know exactly what I mean. But I don't
think there's a single thing we can do about it.
