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.

We are going to have to draw the line somewhere or before you know it this thread will be filled with home brewers, exotic bread bakers and arguments about tomato sandwiches.

@tim_p, as someone who lives in Alaska, you and @larsman aren't too far off from that reality.  She's a long cold one here, ol' winter.

I love DIY! I find it so satisfying to research, plan, ponder, and work until the final product matches my vision (OK, acquiring new tools is really fun too). My 2020-2022 pandemic project was a custom walnut plinth for a Linn LP-12 turntable. Right now I'm working on building a walnut record cabinet. My winter project is expected to be a tube amp kit. I don't think there has ever been a point in my life where I haven't had some DIY project underway.
