Wow. CNC and so much investments in other hobbies.... yet wont spend same for greater audio, speakers etc?

JC2 Phono inspired Opamp
A bit off topic.
I have made many attempts to build discrete opamps on DIP8 footprint in the past.
The failure was always DC offset stablility, and often also unity gain stability.
One of the latest trials is a circuit based on the JC2 phono module.
Proves to be a success this time, with DC stable to +/-1mV, and also unity gain stable.
Will even fit directly on SOIC8 pins without need for adaptor.
Thanks to John for the inspiration.

When claiming extraordinary effects "I own this textbook" does not go very far.
"I have read this textbook" is slightly better, but not good enough.
"I understand this textbook" is something we cannot verify.
"On page X this textbook says Y and a consequence of this is Z" begins to actually address the issue, provided that Z really is the phenomenon under discussion and the texbook author understands Y. We haven't got anywhere near this yet.
We sometimes hear "this textbook does not rebut my view"; this is not surprising as textbooks spend most of their time teaching what is believed to be true, not rebutting all the possible false views which someone might have. On any topic there are a lot more false statements which can be made than true statements.
"My colleague agrees with me" does not carry any weight, because we did not hear the conversation.
"I have measured it" carries little weight, because of the difference between reading a number on an instrument and actually measuring what I think I am measuring. Measurement requires careful practice based on understood theory.

Ha, ha, ha. Everyone from that time range in the future knows that is not possible. The terraforming of Jupiter went wrong and the planet wasn't made habitable for another 60 years.
Mentoring can be as little as answering a few questions. Not an impossible situation.
Now when Einstein was my classmate....
(Sort of true, and with any comprehension you should understand why.)
I think it's all made up. I was asked by a Nobel laureate to come to his office and give him my opinions on noise issues. I would hardly embellish that into anything.

Seems Feynman worked on superconductivity during his tenure at Caltech. wikipedia : Richard Feynman
Another team discovered the solution.
Shows that you are not a storyteller type.

I know a Stanford Emeritus Professor of Medical Physics who took his degree in theoretical physics. He was at Caltech in same class as Feynman, and said they socialized occasionally, but that was about it. Don't know the age or location of Bybee about that time, but he just might be old enough.
My personal priorities are not quite the same as yours. While I occasionally listen, it is not the focus but rather the background.
When I choose to listen critically, it is live.
I was thrown out of a Nobel laureate's office...does that count?

Nobel laureate? Does doing dinner count?

Hey! In college I was an assistant to, and then fired by astrophysics Nobel laureate Joe Taylor. (I refused to do work I thought unethical...) Yay! I'm in the club!
Silly stuff...

Feynman died in 1988 at 69 and would have been 100 this year. So when Bybee mentored him, I presume he was much younger than Feynman (or is JB pushing 100 now?).
Since someone else solved the problem before 1957, the numbers don't add up. Remember the Twilight Zone where Andy Devine spun tall tales and the aliens took him up on it.
I toured China for 10 days with one of these guys. Said he was a black ops agent at the Bay of Pigs, then spent 3yrs recuperating in a secret hospital in Mexico... it only got better.
I worked with someone like that. He convinced a whole multinational corporation that he was ex special forces. In fact he was an alcoholic and died from liver failure!
While investigating investment "opportunities" for my boss I had the terrible fate of spending days interviewing and questioning a scam artist/criminal who claimed to have been a Nazi "super baby" and wrote a complete novel about it called "Superrace."
He was the lowest form of human I have met to date.
