#1 "Dips toe tentatively in water ..."

Post by Audiognome »

Ah ... so this is the "other side", is it??? :wink:

I'd been wondering where all the interesting stuff had disappeared to!

For those that don't know me from WD or LL, a brief intro -

I'm a full time electronics engineer, but completely embedded (ouch!) in the digital/microcontroller/RF world. So, I'm only one step away from clueless numpty, when it comes to valves. :(
Hasn't stopped me playing with them, though, since I stumbled on WD about a year or so ago. I also have a dangerous habit of buying audio crap from car boot sales and attempting to turn said sow's ears into silk purses. Hasn't worked yet :roll:

Latest is a Marantz CD50, which I'm hoping to turn into switchable OS/NOS and switchable valve / op-amp output stages.
I also recently bought a Lenco, which is um... distracting, so I'm also being a nuisance over on LL, since I am definitely a clueless numpty about vinyl!

Anyway, hi to all & hope I can be of help sometimes (not just a nuisance!)

Nigel :)

Hi, You might find your brain being picked over in the CD section at some point then :-)
Whenever an honest man discovers that he's mistaken, he will either cease to be mistaken or he will cease to be honest.

Well, by all means pick away, but I'm afraid I'm rather more experienced in turning analog things into digital, than the other way round :(
I tend to get more involved with things like wheatstone bridges, hall effect sensors, high resolution A/Ds, microcontroller firmware, ISM band wireless, that kind of thing. All rather dull, I'm afraid ... :( I joined WD thinking I was clever and quickly discovered I wasn't :oops:

I'm learning, though! :wink:
