Well, I finally decided to bite the bullet and downloaded LT Spice.
If I can learn a few things about it, and some simple analysis options, I can avoid having to ask Nick or Andrew all the time about little tweaks of mods to ciruits, and their effect .
I'm hoping it'll not be any more difficult than 'HornResp' to pick up the basics. That went OK .
OK first things first . Is a '.asc' file the actual circuit, or just a picture ?
I just downloaded Andrew's LCR phono circuit 'LCR-RIAA.asc' from Intact Audio .
Would like to run a frequency response on it first ; then try removing one of the bleed resistors across the caps to ground .
If anyone has seen a good thread somewhere for basic tuition, let me know . I will go looking .

asc is a type of file.
You may need a program to open asc. files.

OK I found the button 'Simulate>Run' - this seems like a good one !
I filled in some boxes for an octave 5 points per oct 20 to 20000 -
returns script " .ac oct 5 20 20000"
I get error message "This circuit does not have a conduction path to ground! Please flag a node as ground."
There is 'ground' marked on the circuit, so there must be something I need to do, to make the program see it is Ground .

Can you use 'Winebottle' as a verb ?

I'd struggle with Spice when sober, let alone winebottled.

It's a word they use for the open source emulator WINE that enables windows apps to run on old Macs.IslandPink wrote:Can you use 'Winebottle' as a verb ?
Winebottling means the necessary WINE code to make the app run, is bundled with the app itself.
