Electronics CE

[docbob52]

I am glad I started this post as it got a bunch of response from people interested like me. Dan and company are already over the top for the products and service they provide. If they don't have the time for additional CE enhancements, then I totally understand.

Thank God, someone is producing state of the art electronics at an affordable price with great design and manuals.

FWIW, I would have gladly purchased a $50-$100 add-on of a theory manual that addressed detailed design decisions for the Eros or BeePre.

And if one ever comes out, I'll order it...But yeah, I understand the constraints of time and resources.  Just saying there is a paying market out there if BH decides to give this a try at some point.

You guys could probably save $50 by going to the forum category that deals with the kit you are interested in and asking specific questions about the design. If it is something that we feel we can share we are happy to do so.

I totally understand and appreciate that bottlehead's core mission and focus has to remain devoted to the design, production and awesome community support related to its kits.  I imagine having lives outside of work may also be something of a priority for some of you   

That said, should it ever become feasible for you all to offer some sort of video lecture or webcast, walking through the internals of the crack, mainline, etc. - I am among those who would gladly pay to play.  The fact of the matter is that we all know, from personal experience, just how good bottlehead's kits sound - so the prospect of learning/relearning some of the basics from you all in some sort of a virtual lecture setting is really appealing. 

In the meanwhile, those of you who are interested might also want to peruse the NEETS (Navy Electronics and Electricity Training Series) materials.  Here's a direct link to the chapter on amplification: http://www.phy.davidson.edu/instrumentation/Files/NEETS/Mod08%20-%20Amplifiers.pdf  Earlier chapters start with E&M 101 and move through vacuum tube anatomy and design etc., depending on how many hundreds of pages you have time to work through.
