OK, fair point in theory. The question is, at what level is this
distortion? When you consider that we're dealing with signals at a few
tens of millivolts and very low currents, the generated magnetic field
will be extremely small. And therefore the induced distortion will be
similarly small. It would not surprise me to hear that the induced
distortion is down a long way below -100dB, and therefore masked by
plenty of other noise and distortion sources. Does anyone around here
have the necessary maths skills to work out the actual figures?
