SINAD — scalar quantity — Hoch distortion spectrum wa' mI' compress. harmonic structure, correlation, temporal behavior — Qaw'. vacuum tube amp 1% THD (SINAD 40 dB) vs solid-state 0.001% THD (SINAD 100 dB). objectivist — solid-state 60 dB nIv. 'ach critical 'IjwI' — tube prefer — 70 DIS — controlled blind tests. H2 (octave) — musically consonant — warmth. solid-state feedback — H5, H7, H9, H11 — odd-order — dissonant.
