About 30 years ago I measured some LDRs and they were nothing like a resistor, very non-linear and some interesting charge storage effects

Maybe you should try measuring one again, things may have changed.
The limit is set by how the cadmium sulphide cell works, and significant %thd (whole-percents-worth) is unavoidable; informed previous discussion here in DIY by 'Pigletsdad'.
It cannot be ameliorated by complex external control schemes - it is intrinsic in the cdS semiconductor physics.
I’d forgotten what a nasty place this is, and you in particular Arkless. Just wanted to share some of my experiences with other people who also value that kind of stuff. Sorry that it triggered your belief systems and you felt that you had to try and shut me down. I’ll stay away from now on. It’s been 5 years, another 5 won’t make much difference./\ "thommy" can't hear 1-2% distortion but regards mains cables etc which are not silver and blessed by the pope on a full moon as ruining the sound....
The Long Dog Audio guy also published distortion figures for cds LDR's a few years ago IIRC.
