As low as you can get it... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Well... That is very true... But what is that point Jim???

If you are going to be putting it in series with other equipment then it is even more important to be low...

I would hate to see my amps THD where I run them at //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Most amps have their power output rated at a level of 1% THD or less.

So if you are looking at specs, it's unimportant as the differences in the levels are inaudible.
