The very best bulk metal foil resistors have voltage-resistance
coefficients of a few ppm/volt. Most resistors are much worse.

Just the resistors can kill distortion specs. At low frequencies,
self-heating and tempco can add distortion too; the old HP oscillators
had that effect from the lamp filament.

DGMS on capacitor nonlinearity.
