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.

I'm planning an ANK L5 Mentor line stage to go along with my 4.1x DAC.

I also need to finish a pair of VTA M125 monos and Four Pi speakers.

Right now I'm too busy watching football and camping/boating/fishing.

I have never seen a triple C core transformer before. The ANK Mentor looks to be a heavy-duty unit. How long did it take to complete it?

 

It is good to see all these responses. Gives me hope that we can still do it ourselves with excellent results. I know, some folks are better off just buying preassembled gear. I get it. It also wouldn't be wise for me to try and paint a picture either.🌩

I am going to rebuild the engine in my son's 72 Barracuda 440. She has lost some zing so it is time to go through her. Be a nice 2 month project. Great bonding time.

I used to take the owner's Chrysler Imperial to pick up donuts for break time at Vermont Mattress Company, Burlington, VT. 440 with push button shifters on the dash board.

Incredible. "Who want's to go for donuts"? Me, Me, Me
