In a word, yes. IF you're up for the motherlode of classic analog synth
building info. The Builders' Guide and Preferred Circuits collection alone
are extremely useful and well worth the expense. I wouldn't recommend the
whole collection unless you have A. a really decent three hole punch B. the
time to punch all the holes C. the time to read a zillion pages of amazing
info, some of which may be over your head if you never took calculus (like
me). Thanks to the disappearance of so many special purpose chips EN is as
relevant as it ever was. Only some of the op-amps are dated.

I had a similar experience when I first joined this list, seeing names I
knew from EN.
