[ProAudio] VU meter permitted overdrive with a sine wave...

Sifam only moved their production to India, I have a newer SSL compressor with one of those meters in it, the ballistics looked weird to me, so Alan Smart sold me his last UK made Sifam GR meter..

It was Geoff Tanner, retired from Neve, who mentioned that Sifam had been sold to xxxx. and then that they ceased production. 

But obviously they have not!
