Hi Bill, John, and Fran,

I appreciate your comments. Thanks for responding.

Bill, I did think about frequencies beating against each other, thus producing the oscillating or pulsating sound we hear. I wonder how and where samples are taken. Is it possible Technics uses single violin samples, then manipulates them or processs them to create a string section effect rather than sampling the string section of an orchestra? Wish I knew. Meanwhile, I will have to live with the sounds as they are.

All of you take care.

Chuck
