Microphone Database | RecordingHacks.com edit / delete

Searchable by manufacturer, type of microphone, properties, etc. Primarily aimed at mic modders, so has quite a bit of information about cheap Chinese microphones (and less historical info).

Dual Channel Blackface-style Preamp for Bass Guitar edit / delete

Clone (sort of) of the Alembic F-2B, a rackmount version of the classic Fender preamp and tone stack. The Alembic remains absurdly expensive so this might be an interesting project... although I'm really not convinced about the safety of his PSU arrangement! (You'd have to do something different for 240V anyway, e.g. two transformers back to back.)

Proposed Electronic Calculator, by Alan Turing (48 pp.) undated edit / delete

Proposal for what became the ACE, circa 1945. Among many other things, this introduces the BURY and UNBURY opcodes (which these days we'd call PUSH and POP) and their application in function linkage.

μWWVB: A Tiny WWVB Station · cat /var/log/life edit / delete

"μWWVB is a watch stand that automatically sets the time on atomic wristwatches where regular WWVB signal isn’t available. The system acquires the correct time via GPS and sets radio-controlled clocks by emulating the amplitude-modulated WWVB time signal." Awesome!
