Important Recycling Tip from Gmail

Glad I logged in today. I was going to throw out some foil I used last night.

Re: Cool LED Art - A Blinky LED Thing for JR Using a PIC

Or just buy a 60" monitor and run Winamp.

Looked like his kit required a lot of 0603 soldering.

Re: Cool LED Art - A Blinky LED Thing for JR Using a PIC

You know I never had one of those funky 70s-era "color organs."

Remember the old Radio Shack and Allied Electronics color organ kits?

I can stare at Winamp's visualization for hours so you can understand why I might be drawn like a moth to one of these things. :shock:

Cool LED Art - A Blinky LED Thing for JR Using a PIC

Checkout the Aurora 18×18 Kit and PCB with audio interface.

Do you suppose the firmware could be modified for a vectorscope/goniometer?

Re: JFET Follower Amplifier Cancels Distortion

This phenomena is already used by Schoeps in their ubiquitous FET phase splitter. Thanks ricardo. That's exactly the stage I was thinking of. This is the one? https://www.ka-electronics.com/DC_Preamp/Schoeps_Topo.jpg I see the 1G gate bias ressistor "sees" an adjustable portion of the sou...

Re: JFET Follower Amplifier Cancels Distortion

Thanks Doug. I just glanced at this circuit while reaching for something else and it struck me: "Could the use of a current mirror linearize a FET acting as a shunt attenuator?" I realize the topology above is not correct and that techniques providing feedback from the source to the gate t...

I've got the Interdesign Book. Learned a lot from that book.

Hans Camenzind, 555 timer inventor, dies

SAN FRANCISCO--Hans Camenzind, the Swiss emigre analog guru who invented one of the most successful circuits in electronics history and introduced the concept of phase-locked loop to IC design, passed away in his sleep at the age of 78. Another analog guru passes. Is there anyone alive practicing t...
