In this episode, the guys talk about harmonic distortion and the difference in sound between a steel beam hitting a concrete floor and a stack of bamboo hitting the same floor.

What does a cheaper Class D amplifier have in common with the steel beam? What is negative second order harmonic? And what's so interesting about square waves for measuring amplifiers, when music is made of sines?

These questions and more are answered as hosts Darren and Duncan discuss the nature of harmonics, and how different distortion characteristics affect human ears.

Great questions from listeners discuss how to choose the right phono cartridge, and how to find humor in audio. The album of the week, Dreamlike by Electric Kif, rounds out the show.
