  1. Tested THD today. Good and bad news 🙂

    Good:

    Astonishingly linear valve. Less than 0.01% @ 50mA / 600V driven at 15Vrms output
    G2 survived very well.

    Bad:

    Forgot to disconnect an internal panel meter from my tracer. This panel blew up and also produced my series regulator to provide some fireworks. Casualties: smoke, fireworks and power supply to be inspected. Tracer seems to be ok…
