Re: rev 1 steiner filter resonance oddity

2010-03-14 by Jason Proctor

thanks -- seems like there's not much to go wrong here!

so basically something on the other side of that resonance pot is
sucking harder than the cap & opamp?

i noticed that the output cap is 1uf on the board, but 10uf on the
schematic (the rev1 pre-2010 schem). probably not relevant to the
resonance problem, but otherwise significant?
