Yes, I should have supplied the link. Here's their list. It would be worthwhile to analyze all the reports when you have some time, but in checking I find that fortunately the very first solid state amp listed, the Accustic Arts, illustrates the point by having only the 2nd order harmonic high enough to appear above the noise level. Likewise, looking down to the Atma-Sphere tube amp, we find one of the examples of a tube amp having a higher 3rd order harmonic than the second.

Distortion characteristics and some other factors(e.g. very low damping factor, soft-clipping, etc.)sometimes spoken of as if they were unique to tube applications can be duplicated in solid state if desired.
