[Phys-l] Oscillator amplitude(Q) question.

If one wishes to increase the amplitude of an harmonic mechanical oscillator when driven at its resonance frequency, one increases the Q. Not necessarily. Please comment.

Is this not necessarily true of an electrical oscillator, also? [RLC oscillator]

bc wonders about cavity oscillators, also.
