[sdiy] May run class again this Spring

[Chris K]

Seperating them is a good idea imho, college cources are notorious for 
trying to cover too much at a time resulting in (usually) only an obtuse 
understanding / discussion / focus on any particular topic.

It might be a good idea to cover making audiophile grade power supplys 
in the course, or just a whole day on making power supplys.

Theres some interesting PSU nfo on Tangentsoft for the headphone amp 
projects,

This circuit is kind of interesting too, how the gnd is set up in this 
low noise headphone amp,

Might be a way to squeeze even more s/n from VCAs and signal processing 
circuits.
