Well, offset results from instability, but yes, offset is a better choice of wording. You could have perfect stability and still have an offset. Yes, the phase would have to be matched, too. 180 degrees off with perfect stability would not be good. ;-> Joe M. Kevin Custer wrote: > > Joe, > > D

Joe, Did you mean "offset" when you said stability? I'd agree that 1/2, to a few Hertz would be annoying. In testing here, and as shown in practice, simple systems sound better if run at about 10 - 20 Hz offset. This makes the beating more tolerable without being able to be reproduced (very
