John - One op amp driving one port would be best. We might consider however having a resistive attenuator at the Ec and using something more like 20dB/V rather than the native 6.1 mV/dB. As long as the source impedance at Ec is low the attenuator would not add significant noise or CV modulation. Off...

Uh, is that monitor a CRT? It looks like the image is wall-to-wall so it's probably an LCD. If it's a CRT it could create significant radiated and cinducted interference. I often pickup 15.575 kHz and ~59.94 Hz measurement spurs at very low level that I think are conducted through the power line fro...

Very nice job! I have to say, I really have no clue on how to meassure noise. Could this reading indicate it's below 120dB? Also, it's not noise but a slight psu hum.I don't hear it with master & headphone volume cranked up full but still The noise level is very low. To get an actual measurement...

Hi Jonas - I got the prototype board from Roger on Thursday and hope to be stuffing it today. We've had some really good weather in Texas the last couple of days - 75 and sunny - and I needed to take advantage of that. Today it's 28 degrees with a high of 38 so doing work in the shop with a hot sold...

So the lamp is a transducer burnout protector rather than de-boing device.

EDIT: Listening to some of the heavily distorted Perez Perado tracks from the 50's and 60's I can see why they added the lamp.

I think it could be for boing. IIRC Orban used a limiter in their unit.

The shunt limiter is in the drive side or receive?

We used the 13.5 ms line in the XL-305 on that same sled. The transducer that the spring hooks on to is a piece of wire soldered into a brass tube. It has quite a bit of pull strength.

Thanks jlm for your post. When you have the springs cut to length, how do you attach them back to the transducers? You have to re-form the hook which is fairly easy. The women at MicMix who did this affectionately refered to themselves as "hookers" since that's what they did for a day or s...

Makes me want to drive to Omaha. We used to have places like this here. About the closet thing now is Altex, Tanner and B&G Micro. http://www.surplussales.com/ Check out the rotary switches and Shalco attenuators. While were at it let's not forget our own member Steve and ApexJr: http://www.apex...

Speaking of the "hair thing", you can wear them while wearing Optivisors! I seem to be using those magnifiers more every day

My wife gave me one of those LED headlamps. Handy if you don't mind looking like a cyclops or coal miner.
