With a good Scotch or a rich Belgian ale. And for Miles (or Getz), with a
consenting adult. :)
But seriously -- the distortion is often added at the recording/production
stage
for artistic effect. One should generally try to listen to a recording through
the
lowest distortion gear available. But the ear is hundreds of times more
sensitive to higher order harmonics than to low order ones, so what is low
distortion and what is high distortion is a pretty complex set of variables.
