Not since the 6th grade. I managed (by screwing around) to make a little
transistor radio behave sort of like a Theremin, but not nearly as creepy.

I did have lunch with Roger Corman.

I would like to ask Mr. Pass when he did write his 1rst Article on Audio-E and why...

I would like to ask Mr. Pass what's 42?

Hi,

Ok, there is one serious question I wanted to ask Mr. Pass for a long time.

Everytime I take the subway I see an ad by the german Pass Consulting Group (IT-consulting) using the Pass logo. Is there any legal relation between Nelson Pass and the German company or did they just pilfer the name and logo?

Besides: Who invented the liquid soap and why?

Best wishes

42..uhm... I saw that somewhere...

let me see...aha..that's the number of my shoes!!

(Not) Seriously....
I envy Papa because he made a living out of something that we consider a hobby. The rest of us mortals have to work boring jobs and then spend that money for the speaker/amplifier related experiments.

In reality, I am thankful to Papa for sharing some of his fun with us, along with saving us some money. Otherwise, I would still be listening to some mid-fi amplifier, and wouldn't have nearly as much fun.



p.s. Liquid soap is in close connection with 42 ( I use it to wash my feet)

Isn't Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide and The Sure Thing part of the general education in Serbia too?

In what ways have Pass Labs been involved with Mobile Fidelity?

In their albums and homepage: Mofi, About us there is a reference to Pass.

And reading about the equipment they use...

The input drivers are pure Class A discrete, complementary FET cascode buffers, open loop, with no feedback.

Who on Earth would make something like that?

[Nelson Pass]

Back in the early 90's, Pass Labs contracted with Mofi to build a replacement
cutterhead system. The existing system was Neumann driving an Ortofon
cutter head. The signal electronics of the original system used numerous
separate op amp based systems for gain, Eq, and feedback, and I reduced
this to a circuit using one LT1028. The power amplifiers driving the cutter head
were replaced by Class A complementary Mosfet amplifiers.

The project was more difficult than expected, but came out well.
