Mr John,
you might like my computer desk, btw.
$20k prototype of a table for medical surroundings, can lift 4400lb from 2' to 6' height, by hand or electrically, the 6' part of telescopic feet makes it difficult)
(5-head MD goes corporate enterprise club offered three times the normal manufacture cost, for them to be able to also charge three times as much leverage. so my old man told them to go screw themselves, literally. For a 2000 table contract at $2k each, in the late '70s, I'd likely been much more cooperative.)
Sentimental memorabilia with a 32'' x 60' Ikea solid beach top.
Why do you smoke?
Yeah, cars, and forest products, and wheat, minerals (gold, nickel, uranium, aluminum, diamonds), beer, whisky, trains, aircraft, telecommunications equipment, oil, gas, electricity etc. Also Oracle, Bryston, Classe, Paradigm, Energy, PSB...
hmm, Kindhornman those .... dots ... what do they mean? the above list of pretty comprehensive, if those are out of sight, you must have a pretty prehistoric existence 
I can understand nezbleu's frustration if this is a common event being forgotten about.
of course we know its not a deliberate omission on your part, but add a lot of that up and it would be pretty maddening

Kindhornman, it probably comes as a surprise to most, but the largest exporter of oil to the United States isn't the Middle East, or Nigeria, or Venezuela, it is Canada. We use the money to pay for universal health care and subsidize otherwise unsustainable northern communities.
All we want with whatever money we have after being taxed into a lower middle class exsistance is your vintage JBL studio monitors, Blowtorchs, old tube Marantz, early Levinson, 70's Threshold, and Wilson speakers, that the Asian market doesn't take...
That will last until America get fracking well developed and makes it's own environmental mess and leaves us to play in the oil sands by ourselves...........
Where is John, waiting for us to talk about audio again so how do we get that pot boiling?. I run an all jfet /fet Borbely system all direct coupled - each stage DC servoed. The power amp has DC offset shudown detection and the input stage uses cascoded 2SK389/ 2SJ109. It''s all run faultlessly for 5 years, though I'm thinking of adding the dc offset detecton and mute to the preamp output to avoid an offset fault destroying the unreplaceable poweramp input jfets. Spectral did this DC monitoring in it's early preamps, does anyone else?

Sorry to dissapoint you, but the world's largest liquid sulphur and sulphuric acid trading company used to be owned 100% by a private equity club, consisting of retired Canadians. And all they cared about was a minimum profit margin.
So when it failed the mark, the shares went to the Toronto stock market.
Chemtrade, main office in Zug, Switserland, for tax reasons.
They have a liquid sulphur storage terminal in R'dam, 5 minute drive from where I live. (you're welcome to ask me howcome I know all that stuff)

Jacco is innocent. The one who mentioned smoking was me.
Not enough breast feeding when I was (physically) a baby.
Consequently, I like them large and heavy (source selector and volume knobs)
George
Ah, you too ?
(small wonder we both favor our knobs to be Xtra bulky. Personally, I also enjoy firm mounting for accurate attenuation control. Pendulous is not preferred, alas unavoidable in the long run, as I'm also too oldfashioned to step up to space age materials

Why bother? Use materials you "feel" comfortable with, without rationalising much.
The long and winded road to "the path one takes" is very personnal
Some new findings (pardon the deviation)

Not much different in the end from what one can distill from reading Diogenes Laërtius work (as a bonus, demistifying the Homines Universales mythical -to us- figures, is very instructive)

Here's a series development for zero order Bessel (excuse the double dutch)
Personally, I find Taylor series a major visualizing aid.
My audio room TV-chair had trouble turning, for some reason my old college math book was underneith, blocking accurate attenuation
Figured I might as well turn it into some positive use, the book, not the chair.
(up to age 30, ultimate was the magic word. Followed later by kiss. Over the years, I've come to realise more and more that common sense and standard practice from experience gained over many decades, beats innovative itch most of the times.)

It depends on your focus. Do you just want to get by? Or do you want to make something special? Of course, most really good fundamental ideas come before the age of 30. For me, this was the complementary differential, complementary jfet follower, JC-1 pre-preamp ckt, etc.
Later, there is REFINEMENT. You know, complementary differential jfet, complementary folded cascode, etc. in ones 30's. In your 40's, it is often, IMPLEMENTING your ideas and running a company.
In my 50's, I gave up everything except to fool around in the lab, to repair and upgrade my previous designs, and to be a consultant for other manufacturers.
Now, in my 70's, I just try to keep up with my former knowledge and accomplishments.
You too, will get old, sometime.
