If the Ba-Gua/Feng Shui inspired JAG will ward off evil spirits then the WoggleBug must conjure up Demons! Was it inspired by Anton LaVey or Aleister Crowley, or perhaps the Dark One himself? Michael A. Firman

Hi Mathieu after reading Prof. Richter's comment (below) a sensible clarification occurred to me. We have been discussing noise in two contexts: 1) as an AUDIO signal and 2) as a source for derivation of CONTROL VOLTAGES (ie via a sample/hold) and as i read back over the discussi

Hi Mike ... a quibble to keep the record straight, based on your post, i suspect that, like me, you have a REV 1 noise ring. As I understand it, all new customers would get the REV 2 , which bears on one of your points... to wit: --- In wiardgroup@yahoogroups.com, mmcgrath@... wr

Wow! Great explanation, Doc. I've been going round and around as to whether I really needed a Noise Ring or not. Part of the problem was that I didn't really understand what it does and the demos on the Wiard site didn't help me much. Your explanation helped a lot. The Noise Ring

Does anybody know the differences, the pros, the cons of the two noise units: Wiard noise ring versus Blacet improbability drive - if you have the noise ring, can you do without the ID? Or does it have some sides which the noise ring doesn't cover? Thanks very much, Matthieu
