Tim, you've got a problem, you have - this morbid obsession with always having to sneer at me yet again. - Tim, this is a technical newsgroup for technical discussion. - that sort of personal abuse is disliked by all here. - go and see your doctor about this morbid obsession you suffer from. Seriously, Tim, you've got a problem: seek help.

My answer is that is how they are sold. I had a philips and a binatone as the last two that had it, I can't remember the other makes, there were a lot. Definately a sanyo in there.

We are specifically talking about audio systems. Yes, all comms systems need them clearly, stop changing the subject to make yourself right. And bollocks did you ever design and build anything. I can believe you used to read manuals, I could even believe you used to help in universities but I really can't belive you designed anything. > > > So AGC is best done; and in my experience, AGC is not fitted to cheap > > > tape recorders. > > > > And in mine it is. 100% > > My experience is 100% the opposite of yours.

My answer is that AGC is BEST NOT DONE. > > But you are wrong. It's necessary for many jobs. Radio yes, not audio amplification > And you did make it > plain you thought it was best done in software. I didn't - I don't, I believe it is best not done and have never said anything to indicate it is best done in software. Nowadays if you did want to do it for whatever bizzare reason, it would clearly be best to put the control loop in software, but I never said that originally as I don't see that outside the cheapest of tape recorders, or maybe dictation machines, there is any need for it. > Deny all you like, I know what you wrote: you often change your mind, > and/or explain that your poor quality English mis-lead me. I will deny all I want as the proof is in the thread for all to see.
