On Photography, Video, and Seeing - David Ruether With Articles On Subjective Lens Evaluations (Mostly Nikkors - With Some Nikkor Lens Reviews), On Seeing And Perspective, On Comparing Some Mini-DV Camcorders (With Some Reviews), And On Video Image Faults, With A Review of the Canon HV20 and HV30 HD Camcorders, And A Comparison of Some HDV Eding Programs

My "SUBJECTIVE Lens Evaluations (Mostly Nikkors)",
which includes a listing of all Nikon SLR lenses ever
made (with a *SUBJECTIVE* evaluation of many of them,
a general description of Nikkor lens performance
characteristics by lens-type groups, and comments on
particular lenses when the general descriptions plus
the subjective evaluation numbers are not sufficient
to describe performance), is here -

A different version of it (comparing my lens ratings
with those of Grover Larkins) can also be found at this
site (although this one is now very out of date) -

I designed a couple of "transmission-line" sub-woofers, a couple of electronic crossovers, a preamp, and a couple of speakers back in my audiomania days (look here). The URL for a "reverse engineering" of my "AQA" commercial bass-box design is here: www.t-linespeakers.org/projects/nick/aqa.html.
Check out "The Audio Amateur" magazine 1978 back-issues
CD for a giant sub-woofer design, "The Big Bass Box", I published there (as well as a very strange "Praying Mantis Tone Arm", 1976...). The CDs are available here:

This site has nothing do do with anything else on this site (except maybe our "special" restaurant menu), but it is one heck of a lot of fun to read! This wonderful site is at:
