Re: Gentle persuasion over time

I think, drilling is the safest way to go at the stumps. Hand drills used by old days carpenters would be perfectly safe and quite efficient. I used some of those some 50 years ago on green wood, too bad I did not keep them. I just saw there exist angle grinder disks to cut wood. They look like a di...

Under the same kind of endeavour, today I worked at grinding a tree stump. I was stupid enough to use an angle grinder with a disk for cutting metal. Few minutes later, the disk exploded, thanks to the protection, I only got a flying debris to cut at my left fore arm. Not too deep, fortunately. Neve...

May I ask, why you care about matching electrolytics ?
What about matching film caps ?
Typically in microphone preamplifiers for phantom power isolation.

Re: How Closely Do The Values Of Electrolytic Caps From The Same Lot Match?

In the 60's I was interested in 2R R ladders, so I sorted in a lot of 1K 5% resistors, they came out well matched, better than I presumed. I was told, resistors were sorted at the end of the production line, so the 5% I got were those that did not make it in the 2%. So I had those from the same of t...

Some PCs do have SPDIF outs but almost none have SPDIF In.
Indeed, I looked all over. This makes the Forcusite very interesting.

If it were me I'd start out with AudioTester with a FocusRite 2i2 gen3.
Hello,
How does this compares whith using
PCM4222EVM with Audio Tester as you did to measure your "balanced moving coil preamplifier".

Re: got screens?

Enough sensitivity to detect a squirrel would also detects leaves moving in the wind.
You need a better filter.
Movement detection is not good enough, it must add squirrel recognition.

This deserves automatic picture analysis for squirrel alert.
