Hello all,

Can someone please assist me to understand what "THD" means? I found the definition on expedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_harmonic_distortion#Explanation but I would like to understand it in pure basic English (THD for Dummies) :-)

How this affects the sound or does it? The THD on some tubes is less than 1% whilst others are rated at =< 2%.
I want to pull the plug on a tube integrated but before I do I would like to understand this concept.

Thank you very much in advance
