Hello!
I joined the mailing list recently and I really do enjoy reading through
your discussions! I happen to be studying electronics and having interest
in synthesizers (from a user perspective) at the same time and I think it's
time to connect them. So I have some questions!

   1. Are there any no-brainer/commonly used parts and ICs used
   particularly in audio modules and which I should buy in larger quantities?
   For example, in university I got along with HC14/AC14, BC547/557,
   555, µA741, LM358, LM385 and TL431.
   2. I was taught that structures like Eccles-Jordan circuits are archaic
   and we shouldn't use them, but is this also relevant in analog synthesis?
   Any other examples?
   3. I can't find any good materials explaining typical audio voltage
   levels? I'm talking about line level. instrument level, signal from
   microphone/electric guitar, and most importantly CV and voltages used in
   modular synthesizers.
   4. I'm assigned to make a linear power supply, and I don't have any
   specific parameters specified. Could you suggest what voltage level and
   power it should probably give so I could use this in future synth/audio
   projects?
   5. Are there any good wikis/sites/forums for people like me? It was
   really tough for me to find anything except this mailing list
   6. Is there anything else I should probably know?

Cheers,
Bartek
