I like the idea of first making the function blocks themselves better behaved.

Maintaining a Vbe Multiplier's bias value

And there are very good reasons for limiting the size of capacitors in commercial designs. Even if the increased volume and cost is not an issue, reliability will go down for a bigger cap.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
Now that's an impressive man. Thanks! I'll dig in!

No, i don't think it is even that good.

Spot on. That is why i am rebuilding my tinkering kit.

My brother in Dallas TX does.
Two things sprng to mind:
1: run the circuit at a constant current. See

which uses two diodes, but at a constant current.
2: bootdstrap it. See

which is the ciurcuit of sir Clive Sinclair's Neoteric - a very high quality amp of its day.
Why do so many people here insist on quoting the whole of the original article...

- Hang a big cap across it.

Assume, just for a moment, that one wants to actually learn a little about _designing_ the part that goes across those cap terminals.

Just Larkin, as typical, throwing sand in the air.
Simulate it, it's crap for other than low current applications... some _really_ bizarre behavior. ...Jim Thompson

Oakhurst is too touristy/resorty these days.
I usually stop at a little diner in Coarsegold, a few miles before, when I drive into Yosemite that way.

He was self-taught, too.

I still get regular emails from JEDEC. They all seem to be about some conference or seminar on lead-free.

Runs fine under dosemu here. "ASC file.asc file.txt" produces an empty file, "ASC file asc > file.txt" (output redirect) works.
Obviously the source won't compile for linux. It needs someone that knows far more about C (yecch!) than I do to port it.
Any offers?

I last visited there in the 90's. The big deal there at Oakhurst, at the time, was "The Imagination Network." I had many mixed feelings during that visit.
Jon
Well, then. Maybe there is hope for me, too? ;)
Jon
My instincts were alerted as soon as I saw it.
Jon
If your intent is to keep a constant voltage across the Vbe multiplier, you instincts should approve of the big cap.
