What have you been working on in 2020?


New system? Getting into DIY? New bands?

I’d love to know what you’ve been doing that is audio-related this year. Dare I hope some of you have gotten soldering guns? Heat guns? Cables or caps?
For me, I’ve gotten into Roon and the Pi 4. Finally set up my combined 2-ch/HT set up with a new HT processor, and done a little blogging on Roon and subwoofers.  Last night I took my Pi 4 apart and added tiny little heat sinks to the RAM, USB and Ethernet chips.

Let’s see....
  • No More USB cables - I2S connection instead
  • Optical isolation of my Ethernet input cable
  • New SMc Audio monoblocks
  • Trying springs under the monoblocks
  • Considering decoupling speakers from the concrete floor
Recapping the crossovers in my Infinity Kappa 9’s, doing this myself.
Also having my Phase Linear gear gone through and upgraded. Although that’s not being done by myself. I don’t have the electronics background for such.
I do have mad soldering skills though... I can pull & replace.

Oh yea,
Working on getting my vinyl back up and spinning.
New to me the past 6 months are a Sony PS-x75 & Kenwood KP-9010.
Am dancing I never sold my vinyl...
