Where does the time go? I spent HOURS down in the MIC DUNGEON today and tonight, connecting all manner of Mic elements to all manner of raw audio transformers -not the ready-cooked in-line variety of 'matching transformer' but the little raw guys you find inside (primarily dynamic) microphones. The ones with mysterious multi-colored wires dangling out of their windings. Alligator test leads in hand and amp at the ready, I tested literally dozens and dozens of combinations. Yes, some very COOOOOL results and surprises a-plenty!
OK... Even if you've always hated homework, you just might like this: Get out the test leads & assemble a heap of parts from your 'junk drawer' (I'm convinced everybody's got at least one) and start mixing and matching -AND SHARE WHAT YOU FIND OUT! The good, the bad, the ugly -and I'll do the same. I bet you'll have some questions.
Time sure flies when you're having fun...
