I've always sort of liked the classic "GE" tape head/mic preamp

Audio tends to be nonsense, but at least the audio guys have fun
playing with circuits, whether they make a lot of sense or not.

Pretty good stuff.
It will go way over Sloman's head.
Along with the hundred other things a boy can do with a 555.
So someone has used a 555 to make a less than impressive radio-
receiver. Why would anybody be interested, if they hadn't fixated on
the device early in their career and never moved on?
* Oh, sorry, oh guru.
* You are right, that is what 90% of the rest of the world has done. *Not
moved on.
* Or could it be that it is *you* that has the problem?
Not really. Most of the people who post here haven't used a 555 for
years. Not because they don't know about it or don't like it but
because the kind of problem that it was designed to solve started
being solved in other wau=ys around 1980.
* You are the one that is not impressive.
I don't impress me. I see no reason why I should impress you.
