Hello Floyd!

Any time you process signals, you alter them and add artifacts or other
forms of distortion.  The KDSP2 autonotch uses the LMS algorithm, and it
will sound similar to other units employing this type of algorithm.  The
distortion is usually much less objectionable than the interference that is
being reduced.

It turns out that people have very different reactions to various forms of
these artifacts, so the only real way to know is to hear one yourself and
judge.  It is very much a subjective call, not an objective, measurable one.
