You all are weird dudes.
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 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. |
@akgwhiz - and I live in San Francisco, where during the summer months, it's usually colder than Alaska during that period! |
Projects pretty much a constant in my home too. It's just that some are home related, or property related, and a few in between are audio. When I saw rot in the windows corner in my shop, I knew that there would be more than it looked to be. No surprise, and I was remaking only part of the sill and trying to make it blend in. No real instructions there, and don't say Utube either. Most of it is crap. Common sense and experience work as well as anything. |
