Hello from Michigan

Greetings, I'm an electrical engineering student from the university of michigan, with an interest in music, especially creating my own.

Forums seem like a cool place so far, looking forward to poking around

Welcome! Ann Arbor is a great town, sort of like Austin, but 100 degrees colder.

In the shade, yes. In Texas, that's what they call "balmy."

Thanks for the welcome!

Question I've had so far, what section of the forum would I find information on spectrum analyzers?

SY · 13th April 2011, 10:02 PM

It's somewhat scattered. Are you talking about stand-alone units (like RTAs) or computer-based systems using sound cards?

nelso · 13th April 2011, 10:03 PM

I was thinking more along the lines of creating my own mainly analog one as a stand alone unit

SY · 13th April 2011, 10:17 PM

That will be a challenge.

You might start a thread in the Equipment and Tools section outlining what you have in mind.

I have an analog unit (HP3581A) which I use as a backup for a sound-card based system. The latter has enormously better resolution, noise floor, and versatility, but can only measure as high as 90kHz or so.

I'd like to see the heat sinks on your Class A power amps!!

We don't need to power the heaters in our tube amps, just leave 'em in the sun.
