Anyone know of a design for a -simple-tunable- low distortion sine wave oscillator (audio frequency range)

Have you ever tried to make a 'clean' oscillator? It's a lot of fun. And once you have you may develope a new respect for the lowly light bulb. They make nice loads too.

Oh, I was thinking about this the other day. Do you take your 'signal' from the output of the opamp? If you pick off the signal, with another opamp, from the non-inverting input you get another ~10dB of harmonic reduction from a single RC stage.

(Not quite sure of how much it's reduced right at 'resonance' so to speak, but I think it's 10dB.)

Any idea of getting the sort of specs you're looking for from an 8038 is wildly optimistic. Those things are a car crash.

Sorry all - I've been a bit distracted. I'll get back to you all in a day or two - thanks for many good ideas to try / think about
