text: When shopping for a receiver/amplifier, be wary of wattage output specifications and also take stock of other factors such as Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), Signal-To-Noise Ratio (S/N), Dynamic Headroom, and also the efficiency and sensitivity of the speakers you are using.
text: DISTORTION (both THD and IMD): Less than 0.01% at rated power and full bandwidth.
text: Typically, an amplifier's power specifications are calculated by measuring its RMS output voltage, with a continuous sine wave signal, at the onset of clipping—defined arbitrarily as a stated percentage of total harmonic distortion (THD), usually 1%, into specified load resistances.
text: The power numbers are normalized to the power level, P LOAD max, at which the sine is clipped enough to cause 10% total harmonic distortion (THD).
text: If neither distortion nor power-supply issues are addressed, it is difficult to achieve PSR better than 10 dB, or total harmonic distortion (THD) better than 0.1%.
text: Low total harmonic distortion (THD), below 0.5%, is essential so that any distortion artifacts remain inaudible with music.
