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.

Winter will be a busy one.

I have 3 Lencos Im going to be building heavy plinths for that involve a rather elaborate damping system an some significant mods to the TT’s.

Was just given an Ariston RD11S that I’m going to restore for fun.

Have all the parts and schematic for a single ended EL34 amp that I will be building, along with a 12AU7 preamp that I have most of the parts for as well as a schematic. Picked up a Push Pull EL34 power amp from an organ that I will be reimagining.

Built a Hiraga 30 Watt Super class A amp that needs some repair after the output transistors went “poof” on me.

And, I have 3 pairs of speakers I will be building. All three are in prototype enclosures for the time being as I’m fine tuning the crossovers and damping.

 

I’m ready for the winter months :)
