An amplifier can introduce other distortions as well. Let's take a look at the most evident ones and their causes. Active components, semiconductors in particular, produce a noise caused by thermal noise (the random movement of electrons within these conductors)

Electronics history has been marked by the introduction of components that have opened the doors to new solutions and technology. The real revolution took place with the transistor, preceded by the diode, which marked the definitive birth of digital electronics, leading to the introduction of microprocessors.

What we've said up to now with regards to sinusoids is a fundamental truth upon which we will base the rest of our sound reality. An aspect which contributes a lot to the characteristics of sound is its harmonics.
