That's a shame, Scott. I'm glad you were there to make the sacrifice to eat good cheese.
Our family's first computer was a 486 in third grade. Learned basic not much thereafter.

I go here https://fortmason.org/events/ and I keep hitting "load more" until it stops loading. Nothing like "BAF" loads. Does BAF have a dedicated website?

Pics from BAF look like an AARP convention.

I better not show those to my wife she'll want all of them in the livingroom. Those Raal full ranges were special though, did they ever sell a pair?

I have no idea, if they sold or not. I just went to see what was there, took pictures and went home. The best sound was from that white German horns with plasma tweeter and isobaric woofer.
For my wife I put line arrays in walls, and concrete horn sub under the floor. 🙂

Yes! I could not find it! 😀
That's why I posted Scott's back only. 🙂

A couple of old farts who can hardly see anymore.
The first computer I used was a Bendix G-15D. Drum memory and a high speed paper tape reader.

Must be one of the best sounding computers as it was vacuum tube!

Missed those, you bring up good questions here (one reason I built my one stage open loop RIAA). The interlocking issues with feedback around multiple stages and taming all the possible problems and more importantly distortion vanishing with input level are worth exploring. Everyone should just listen.
I saw an insane circuit presented at the ISSCC where there was 160dB of gain over the audio band and piles of nested feedback to make it stable. It never saw the light of day.
I was impressed by your "Solar powered" condenser capsules. Very elegant idea!
No, in last my amp I use only 2 pentodes, no compensation except what parasitics provided by an output transformer itself. 🙂

Who promised? I meant his feedbacks only.
I have somewhere on my Wavebourn page on FB a link on his interview.

here you go - understanding of Math and Physics VS Rules of Dumbs:

A pretty good interview, I have seen it before.
Are you actually trying to say that I don't understand the math? 😕😱
Cheers

Thanks for those pics Wavy! I never realized I looked so good when I was still young ;-)
I attented all of the first 10 BAFs, then missed the last two. Bummer.

Wavebourn --- For audio, what do tubes do better than SS? IYO ? In general or specific. esp in regard to 'audible' distortions.

Frame grid. They were developed at the end of the tube era, for TVs. And some military stuff.

The best sounding main frame I ever heard was an ICL model, where some bright spark had created a pack of cards to make the CPU play telstar on the monitor used to see if it ever got stuck in a loop.
