Out of curiosity, which euro oscillators have quality sine wave outputs

All my Doepfer osc's (including the "High-End") have really crap (useless) sine shapes.
Even my favorite Zeroscillator becomes grossly distorted at lower freq's. And according to
this thread, it looks like ASys and Z3000 are also low quality.

However, *all* my vintage VCOs and LFO's have nice low distortion sines.
