Indeed, along with the bizness/social aspect of joining the Damaged (you know.. like females with normal body dimensions.) It's likely easier to do an arabesque around conditioned xenophobia if younger; if older - then the caricatures of (what Else is broken??) are apt to trump. Me - I don't care if 'they' think its a You-pod or a defibrillator.
Nice book. But I shan't be designing the clockwork.. for one thing, that's mandatory production of small ckt-boards; mainly though, I lack the EE experience of breadboarding a cpu-based project, let alone devising an interface == levels on levels on..
So I'll be looking for a sorta-DSP 'kit' - already possessing a serviceable enclosure, amp for grafting, in/out. There are several good-fidelity small 'speakers' with their own 'enclosure' sorta-compensated, as there are good teeny mics. Usual tedium running down 'lecronics pieces in small qty. Gadget would have to include the microcode and designer's concept of the physical controls. (A scope, swept osc. will answer the rest, for those of us without a spectrum analyzer to hand.)
Your list of curve titles is the idea, but behind those are lots of ??? re notch filters, filters with variable slope for 'attack' - and likely the best of these data are $uppressed, just like Doze source (even to the point that - there might be some guffaws at revelation of the assumptions, in some of the rationale ;-)
Anyway, audio is today full of mavericks as well as the usual surfeit of purveyors of $100+/ft "speaker waveguides", tested for skin-depth effects, into the GHz.. Which-all is why I don't expect soon to get much beyond an improved mic and (easy) an accurate ear-speaker + decision on its placement.
Besides, there's something unHealthy/idiotic about spending more for an amplifer than for one's Wheels.
