Spring reverb project taking shape

Here's a peek at the workbench, which is actually supposed to be my dining room table! The mini reverb tanks - one for each channel, as this is going to be a stereo unit - are visible in the extreme upper right:

 

I'm basing the drive and recovery amplifier designs on some extremely helpful suggestions from Elliott Sound Products, whose online project archive is a fantastic internet resource for DIY audio experimenters. Both are simple op-amp circuits with a minimum of external components, so I'm hoping to get a functioning prototype circuit up and running soon.

 

Indiana Dunes sequel

There are many more Dunes Park pics. Sorry, I ran out of time last time to upload them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great expectations

Countless examples of mathematics abound in nature, but there is yet reason to doubt that nature, root and branch, is a sub-species of mathematics.

Don't miss it!!

Group identity is a lie

Unfortunately for the identitarians, the only functional difference between one human being and the next is what that person knows or understands, or does not know or understand, and consequently what that person is prepared to do, or not do, based on their peculiar understanding. And of that fairly trivial distinction, some unknown percentage is already accounted for, being a kind of understanding that is either extra-conscious, essentially innate, or both. 

Yet the influence of the latter ought not be carelessly overstated. For to do so would deny that the capacity to grow, adapt, change, or increase understanding by way of accumulated experience is a cardinal human quality, giving the further lie to any claim of prospective status within social groups that fundamentally do not correspond to natural kinds.
