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.

@larsman , *mmm* Choice of 'additions' need consideration....esp. around 'power tools'.... ;)

@erik_squires ...hasn't stopped me yet, the ongoing is only possible in that fashion. *G*  Running out time to apply self to such is the annoying part, tho'...

@waytoomuchstuff , I've the misfortune of knowing enough of too much to take a run at it.  Lucky enough most times; but then there are those things that are so screwed up you know that you'll only improve the damage....*L* 

@waytoomuchstuff , yes sir, there are places and things I know enough of Not to get involved with...

One can 'crackle-finish' the surface of wood with a microwave transformer.

I'll mess with neon (high volts, low amps) but microwave units are the reverse...from what I understand, which IS enough.

That, and fooling around with one sans the Faraday cage is just plain stupid.

(But it is amazing how long a cockroach can stand exposure in one....)

@wolf_garcia ....There is no escape, only higher ground where you can put up the good fight.... ;)

"You'll never take me alive!"

It seems it's quite happy to take us 'not so much'..... 😏
