In Reply to: Can You Please Define "Linear"? posted by Robertc88 on May 3, 2007 at 07:23:54:
I generally apply the term "linear" in regard to keeping the "straight line" input-output relationship, all the way up to maximum amplitude excursion.....THD may be a measurement indicating "non-linearity", but a low THD measurement does not necessarily mean superior linearity, for it rarely accounts for the amplitude excursions often encountered with the best recordings.
I personally think the most-overlooked aspect of performance in audio is a component's or system's ability to maintain amplitude (I/O) linearity when subjected to large signal excursions. Especially when it comes to digital sources, tube line stages, and solid-state power amplifiers.
