I found a similar thing with my wave multiplier. Mine has 4 stages.
Originally it had seven. The difference was not so great as to warrant the
extra parts and the associated cost. For what it is worth, the original
Serge one uses 6. I suspect the real reason for using 6 is to keep the
output signal within a voltage range. I used a second feedback loop on the
fourth stage to achieve a similar limitation.
