[sdiy] Peak Detector

Hi everyone,

I was wanting to build a peak detector circuit to indicate when a signal
goes above 5Vp-p. Just one of those single LED indicator types.

Seems to me the simplest thing to do would be to use a comparator which
sets off a 555-timer monostable. 

Are there better ways of doing it or does anyone have a circuit handy
for this?

Thanks,
Dave
