I would claim that you're uch better audio
designer from actually
designing soemthing (even thoguh you had transistors fly across the
room)
than you would have been if you'd never had a go.
Definitely. I did go on to design and build a preamp and power amp that
worked quite well, and didn't blow up.
Perhaps I'd metter not mention the time I had a
pair of EL34s with
the
anode glowing bright orange/yellow. Of coruse I had managed to short
out
the grid bias supply...
I suppose they still worked after a fashion afterwards? If that had
happened to a transistor (except possibly a 2N3055) I wouldn't have
expected it to work afterwards.
Never made _that_ mistake again.
The beat learning experiences are the mistakes one makes.
