Maybe this is the winter you build something!


Hey it's me. Just reminding you to please consider building something this winter.  From a new power cable to speakers, maybe new acoustic panels you DIY or even speakers or a sweet preamp kit.

You'll have a lot of fun, and learn a ton.

It's weird to me that when I suggest Audiophiles might enjoy building stuff themselves I get flack.  "I don't like that! Stop promoting DIY! It will never be as good!"

Whatever. I think building is fun and educational.

Erik, I love the encouragement and enthusiasm.  So I've done the things I'm comfortable with or need.  Equipment rack furniture, speaker cables and ICs.  But I could be nudged to go outside my comfort zone for an electronic piece.  Don't need it but would be fun.  Could give it to my son.  A few questions.  My soldering skills have only been KLE RCA connectors thus far.  Should I be more skilled first?  Second, what are some good-sounding tube amp kits and what are price-points (if you know)? 

@tim_p, as someone who lives in Alaska, you and @larsman aren't too far off from that reality.  She's a long cold one here, ol' winter.
