[sdiy] OT: Annoying gap removal

[Tom Farrand]

Paul,

What about David L. Jones?  (EEVBLOG)  I love his videos.  Once he had
a Rode mic designer there and they spent much of a whole episode
talking about the innards of Rode mics.  That was f--king awesome!
Yeah, they scribbled on a white board drawing schematics with tubes
and such but I learned things I had not previously considered.  The
Rode guy explained why one should use a very specific capacitor type
at a certain location in the mic and his reasoning seemed quite
sensible.  And when Dave wails on about a less than stellar product in
a review I love it even more.  "Oh crikey, this DMM is the biggest
piece of shit I've ever seen!"  "What   a   piece   of    crap."  And
then he explains why it is a piece of shit.  When you see that, one
tends to remember it and you'll not buy one.  Seeing a product in
actual use by someone who knows how to use it, is valuable.

Perhaps we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

Best!
Tom Farrand
