It's interesting that the 100Hz ripple modulation sidebands are about 20dB lower than the dominant harmonic levels.

And the IMD levels are also not (as I see it) significantly influenced by ripple sideband levels, although they show up (eg. in the 13-14kHz tones).

In either case, there is only a very low 100Hz signal showing, which is interesting, and seems to show the performance of PP output stage balancing.
