John,

You seem to be limiting your considerations to the 'tangential clipping' and
not to other distortions that will occur.

On the contrary I alluded to the other problems in my post above where I
said "while the traditional RC circuit has its problems". The problem is
that Patrick has a very thick head, so I am trying to keep things simple
so he might get the point.

Unfortunately, you have not yet done a proper comparison measurement
of a traditional detector driven off an IFT secondary,
and compared the results to what I have proposed and posted using two CF tubes.

I don't have the time to spend on discussions that get nowhere with someone who
hasn't the time
to connect a handful of parts on a bench, and do some real work, instead of
endlessly talking around the subject, and making incorrect statements about skull
bone thickness.

Patrick Turner.
