[sdiy] How does 3320 sound as hipass/bandpass

Now here is a perfect example of personal taste in action.

I personally prefer the CEM3320 to the transistor ladder type. The CEMs are
more linear and do not produce distortion like the ladder type. If I want
distortion, I prefer to add it deliberately and not be stuck with it.

By definition, a filter is supposed to be a linear device. If they add
significant distortion (non-linearity), they should be called a "frequency
shaping distortion device" and not a filter ;^)

In practice, musicians prefer a filter with more distortion, so they say
they are "better". An engineer would consider a filter with more distortion
as "worse".

That has confused me for a long time.
