I'm only surprised you didn't mention Aural
Exciters, which used to be
(don't know if they still are) used to add high frequency information
(distortion) to the sound to make it more "exciting". As I recall (It's
been a while) they tried to add even harmonic distortion.
That is a great example! I forgot about those. BBE and Aphex still
sell a lot of those, I think.
I've been thinking about writing a piece about how what we like to
listen to isn't actually "natural" or "accurate" in a lot of
cases.
For example, a Sure SM58 does not faithfully reproduce the human
voice, but when it comes to live performance they sound "right"; they
meet our expectations.
