Default New page on Squares waves and amplifier performance

This argument is exactly why square waves are no good unless you are trying
to track something specific down, for example a psu running out of steam
and going hummy on high powers into a reactive load.

We used to use squarewaves for the following.
To show how bad tape machines were...
To show the tone control effects

However, you need to look at the harmonics on a true square wave, which
of course cannot actually exist.


**If you REALLY want to laugh, look at a 7kHz square wave from a CD
player (even 5kHz is barely passable from most CD players). A good R-R or
high end vinyl playback can do a MUCH better job.
