[BC] Jensen transformers

[John Lyles]

Going through my junk (cleanup) I found a big looseleaf bound manual for Jensen's Comtran software, an early package designed to model audio circuits and transformers, and display amp and phase vs freq response, group delay, and time domain characteristics of circuits. It ran on Hewlett Packard Rocky Mountain Basic workstations only so the software is obsolete now. In the manual were two cassettes, which were audio transcrips of Deane Jensen himself describing the development and evolution of that software, as an AES chapter meeting in LA around 1982. It is a long talk, and he is heard demonstrating his software. I was playing one on my commute to work (ok, so that is kind of nerdy, but my 20 minute drive is about the only time i have to listen to either CD, radio or tape on weekdays - not working in a B'dcast facility). Jensen was/is pretty far ahead of others audio transformers. Is he still around?
