hi chris,
             the main prob with async is the bang size can be small on one
bang and large on the next as the point of firing is continually moving
along the sine wave.
this may mean a very hi charge of the cap on one firing and smaller on the
next.
this itself can put nasty spikes back to the nst.
i think this is why but i could stand corrected.
cheers
colin heath
