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

but it occurred to me that it might also make a nice headphone amp...

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.

Even though you scorn and ridicule audio, there's nothing wrong with
anyone seeking perfection there, just as there's nothing wrong with
your search for perfection in the genre which pleases _you_ to pursue.
So, speaking of fun, why don't you do a complete design and assign
values to the circuit components and identify the semiconductors?

You're not playing the game. You are sitting in the henhouse, clucking
about the people who do.

He's not playing your game, which involves telling John Larkin how
cute his circuits are.

He's not designing circuits, which is what this newsgroup is about.

Well, I'd say that the ratio of my technical to non-technical articles
is about 10:1, while yours is about 1:10, and over the years I'd be
willing to bet that I've posted about 10 times more designs, fully
worked out, with component values included and, lately, simulated,
than you have.

You aren't either. Both of you start to cluck and peck when people do
design circuits. No surprise.

---
Actually, what you like to call "clucking and pecking" is nothing more
than criticism, but you try to cast it in a light which mitigates its
validity by besmirching the veracity of the criticizer.

All you ever criticize is my personality. You said nothing about this
circuit. On the rare occasion when you do post a circuit, or critize
one, you're usually wrong the first few times.

Old hen.
