Linus Learns Analog Circuits

This is a personal toy project that has gone through several phases, but the common theme has been that it makes absolutely no sense outside of the very specific niche of "Linus is trying to learn random things about electronics". To me "discrete components" does include more optimized packages: things like dual diodes or matched transistors, but not more complex circuits like a op-amp (or a 555 timer or D Flip-flop or other classic logic IC) Filtering obviously helps, but this is just a long-winded explanation for why I ended up really appreciating the "bias to ground" JFET model for the signal input side, and the common drain follower in particular.
