Yes, Dave, that's it.  I've read the text carefully several times, aned I 
still have no idea what this special "living" quality of the old Moogs is 
supposed to be.  It's not being explained interms of the physical 
properties of the wave that is being put out.  And we are not given audio 
examples illustrating it.
