I think the point of the whole discussion is that using unscientific terms like signal to noise ratio is misleading. The only way you can really tell anything about a synth is to buy it. And the one you like today may be different from what one you like 10 or 20 years from now, a

My personal feeling is that calculating SNR and THD from a 24 bit FFT is more accurate than a voltmeter. The FFT shows you its own error contribution, where the voltmeter does not. Everybody uses a different method, there is hardly any way to compare such specifications accuratel

Grant, I would respectfully disagree with your definition of signal to noise ratio. The inclusion of the second order harmonic is only appropriate for determining the THD of the circuit when a signal is applied, whether that be steady state or transient. The definition of signal
