#169498 - Yes you can!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
However, you'll find that your experimentation in general will benefit greatly if you have a good source of clean, well-regulated, low-noise power of known quality.

You can build a small, simple, yet still well-regulated supply with which you can power your experiment. However, if you don't have a well-regulated power supply, anything else you do, no matter how carefully and scientifically constructed will be suspect. How can you build a reliable circuit when you don't know the precise characteristics of the power supply?

When I started fiddling with electronics at home, some 45 years ago, the first thing I acquired was a solid, well-regulated low-noise linear power supply with a constant-voltage-transformer input. I've never regretted it.
