Maybe this is the winter you build something!

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 :)

 I have not yet, built a plinth for a TT, though it is enticing. Would need an accurate template, and since I lack a CNC machine, a router would likely be doing a lot of the work, at least down to an inch deep.

Love building stuff:

Transcendent Sound , 

Bottlehead,

Vacuum Tube Audio

Re-capping Yamaha NS 1000M

Volti upgrades for ‘70’s vintage corner horns

Never gets old

Did home brew beer for awhile

Still reload ammo

what got me started was promise of decreased cost- that was a lie

What’s kept my interest is the quality control-

Same as audio

Enjoy!
