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?

Speaker stands for my Quad ESLs, turntable stands, some electronics mods to various amps, DIY cables, record storage. Single run 20amp 8 gauge 120v power.

You guys are impressive... and I thought I was so special with my hammer and saw.

A two shelf, equipment stand made from 1-3/4" "rustic" dark walnut.  60"X18"X21" tall.  Solid as a rock holding the TT, Phono-pre, CD Transport, DAC, Pre-amp, Mono-blocks, and AC Regenerator.  Lots of plaining and notching and doweling and sanding!  No screws or nails or metal of any kind.

Virtually everything in my system has been modified to some extent. DIY dedicated AC lines, room altered to extent of tearing out fireplace.
