Start building with your intuition as a guide while you are waiting for all the books you're gonna buy to arrive. Or you can move out here and I'll show you, if you have a few years.

What is best way to learn to build own equipment?
I wanted to learn how to build my own stereo equipment. I live in Southwest Missouri and I am able to find schools that provide training in electronics. The only thing I have been able to find so far is a weekend program in Chicago that teaches how to build a tube amp.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how the best way to learning how to build your own equipment? I open to any type of training, books, online information, etc.
Thanks for your willingness to try to help me.

I got my start around age 9-10, reading library books on fundamentals of electricity, electronics, hi-fi systems, and trying simple DIY projects. I will never forget the librarian enquiring what a little kid like me needed with those "big" books? As my skill, experience and confidence grew, I worked on increasingly difficult projects, all of them scratch builds. It helped that I made friends with a couple of other hobbyists, and got to compare project notes. |
Start with a few simple kits, you can buy some simple electronics kits from Parts Express and other places. PE Kits Nelson Pass have a lot of projects on his DiY site Pass There is a few kits available on Ebay form China etc however most of them come with junk parts and poor instructions so caution is advised going that route. Best of Luck and have Fun Peter |
