Thanks Ilya. I think you could use the circuit you posted as-is or with one TL074 section eliminated or this one: https://www.ka-electronics.com/images/jpg/Level_Det_Two_Color.JPG The above gives you off, signal present and clip though it's only negative peak detecting, You could combine the two for...

Thanks Roger.

JR - It snowed earlier in the month as far south as Houston.

Heres' the LM317/337 regulator board schematic we sold for the Picos. They are no longer available but it may help you out: http://www.proaudiodesignforum.com/PicoComp/PCB-Kits/Documents/PSU/PSU_Documents.htm I had forgotten that there were links to Sam Groener's PSU calculator spreadsheet and to th...

We estimate it's been about 52 years since the last white Christmas...

Thanks John! I'm archiving some physical databooks for our member crazynightowl as well. I think I have the VR handbook. Let me see which edition I have...

BTW The National Audio Handbook edition I have is 1977. I think I have an earlier one as well.

John - The NSC Audio Handbook I have is the series with the dark blue bottom and - IIRC - a tan color bar at the top. Unfortunately the NSC books of that era were printed on newsprint and they haven't aged well. I'm not sure where we discussed the TS-1 but I do have the sch here: http://www.proaudio...

This is a very good reference for you to start with. It should be on everyone's virtual bookshelf:

JR - What browser do you use? Do the pdf page arguments work in Safari?

Paul - Use a "derived" filter so that they re-combine properly. The old NSC audio handbook has a discussion on that in active speaker crossovers. We should probably start a thread on that.

An assumption definitaly not to make is to assume that the carbon comp resistors really are the correct value in 2010.

I just threw out a bunch of 5% carbon comps that were off in the 20-30% range. Others from the same period, depending on value manufacturer etc., were spot on.
