Dafydd and I get into some good stuff about mic preamp and general audio design, including:
- The difference between surface mount (SMD/SMT) and through hole components in terms of sound and performance.
- Are SMDs good for audio? Should we audio folks resist industry's march toward all surface-mount parts?
- The concept of "parasitics" in audio electronics design and when their effects can be critical.
- Dafydd gives us a guided tour of the Eden circuit from the input to output jacks--a great way to get a grasp on the basics of mic preamp design.
