Possible, a good opportunity for me to learn something new.
Could you quote a few of this prior work/experience/experiments/scientific experiments? There's certainly quite a few that I am not aware of.
You said "Assuming there would be a difference in the subjective perception." What were you referring to as "subjective perception" if not the audibility of cartridge loading? Sorry if I misunderstood, please explain.
Fortunately my happiness is not strongly correlated with audio (in the bigger scheme of things).
Unfortunately I have no access to adequate instrumentation so I rely on people like you to do it. But it's pretty academic in the end, as the answer doesn't have a measurable practical importance in my life.
Semantics. "Assuming there would be a difference in the subjective perception." == "If there is a difference in the subjective perception"
1. I was referring to the fact that THD alone cannot tell the audible sound quality of an amp, not to designers skills.
2. Enough slew rate in itself doesn't tell the audible sound quality of an amp, different amps with similar slew rates sounds differently.
Some people call this semantic evasion 
(it's a joke)
And then you followed that statement with the implications of the assumptions. So, in theory, for the moment, you explored the possibilities. That's what I did too, I explored your a), b) implication. I accept that you will not answer whether you hear the effect of different cartridge loading or not. As you said, you don't owe anybody an answer.
Edit: it may look otherwise, but syn08, I'm not trying to give you a hard time. I'm just trying to clarify some things. It's a very difficult medium this internet. John would have sent me packing long ago Right John?

That's irrelevant to the incorrect assertion you made. Musical instruments have seventh harmonics. So do voices. This cite is about note frequency relationships, a totally different issue.
Your cite of the Oohashi article (which is fatally flawed; see discussion elsewhere) also does not support the claim you made about distortion above 20kHz. Oohashi does not talk even a little bit about distortion.
Irrelevant and ultimately flawed. Do a search on Oohashi on this site for further discussions about.
Next?
No. You said (and I quote):
"Not at all. Lower THD figures are easily achieved with NFB and GNFB. When large amount of NFB is applied without proper consideration of the appropriate Slew Rate, measurements of THD will be excellent, while the sound will be bad."
This is incorrect. Insufficient slew rate turns up in THD measurements, IF you know what to look for.

Sorry, still incorrect. Besides being severely flawed, the paper makes no claims about distortion nor its equivalence to musical harmonics.
SY, seventh harmonic is avoided in many musical instruments, if possible. You should know this. Seventh harmonic is always out of tune. It is the worst example. Doesn't anyone here actually use Google to find out these things?
In musical reproduction, seventh harmonic appears to be the very worst harmonic to add to a hi fi system reproducing music. I think that this is what Joshua is trying to convey, Of course, seventh harmonic occurs in nature.
Of course, if you want to add a 'metallic sound' to your hi fi, this is the easiest way.
