I'm actually agreeing with you. I was referring to the common argument since a pure sine
is not possible, so the crappy 10%-20% THD sines from Deopfer, Tip Top, ASys etc.
should be good enough for us.

Maybe try to do better since it's been known for 40 years that it's easy and simple to get
cleaner sines with less than 1% THD.
