Ralph, exactly. Julf, yes it's a sum of sine waves (kind of, for the purposes of this discussion) but where do we actually test a sum of sine waves? My point is we test one, or maybe two, for most of the tests we set store in. Although the sampling theorem is proven and perfect, we know real equipment isn't. It isn't perfectly linear, it doesn't have instantaneous infinite power available etc. All I'm saying is that it might be an assumption too far. To be fair, JA tests gear on a regular basis so his comments should be taken seriously. I don't believe he's a raging subjectivist, by any means.
