All we are left with is the sine wave on an oscillo: It is always a square sine with rounded shoulders. 2-If I show you the FUSE BLOWER sine will you take it for a scientific proof of its good tone? I think you are a hard arguer, but if you answered YES to -1- and NO to -2- , maybe you could give me a little tiny point.and if you dont please tell what else can we measure and I will do it with great pleasure. jacques http://www.ts808.com p.s.
