High

[michaelhigh]

My name is Michael Hy Yaffe, I come from the St. Louis area (Belleville, IL), and I have been interested in all things musical and electronics-driven since 1975. I am a DIY klutz, and have been forever, so I figger the only way to face the reality of my plight and find a way to alleviate the sore fact is to start hanging out with the DIY heavies here and try to absorb some things that might find a way to stick without flying completely over my head in the meantime. Please have patience with me as I have crap math skills, I mean nearly none, basic grasp on anything going on here, but in the interest of savig some money on gear I would like to see if I can learn anything new at the age of 52. I'm not quite an old dog, but I definitely have the desire to pick up enough basic skills to where I can do some basic things. I don't know, I might be biting off more than I can chew, but you'll all know that if I just up and disappear one day... I'll hang as long as my poor brain will allow. Thanks for your tolerance in advance.

"High" Michael. Welcome to the forum!

52 is not too old. I'm trying to learn linear electronics now that I'm 60, after a 10 year career in digital electronics way back when. Math isn't always required, shape is important. I'm into version 8 of trying to get the hum out of an op amp preamp. If you don't succeed, try again.
