Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make?


After some self assessment and introspection on my own high fidelity habits I discovered that I build or make things for my stereo/audio room. Some examples of these things are;

1 Tore out carpeting/padding/floor tiles in the addition to my house (audio room) and painted the cement floor with epoxy paint and clear coat. Placed out a Turkish area rug.

2 Made cherry wood speaker stands on wheels.

3 Had made custom speaker covers and stereo stand covers for when I am not listening to audio to keep away dust. Thanks to my seamstress....

4 Custom made Paduak wood cover (with legs) with two low speed exhaust fans for my tube amp

So curiosity got the best of me. Have you made anything for you stereo system or room? If so what did you make and why?

I wanted a surround/stand for my McIntosh mx110z Tube Preamp. Not the old walnut case.

Research, correspondence with McIntosh about vintage enclosures, ended up developing a unit in 3 optional heights and several optional finishes.

Ventilated, Rubber Isolation feet, tempered glass top, wide open back.

All dressed up, never offered them for sale, maybe some day

I put photos on this site

 

I for one would like to see MORE PHOTOS of some of this cool stuff!!!!!

It's very easy to post photos (create a system) here. doesn't need to be anything more than what you want to show. delete/add photos at any time
