I have been building some DIY audio stuff for a while and would like to participate in the GAS.  I have built the Pluto speakers, the subs to go with the Plutos, the Phonoclone 3 phono preamp and, most recently, the Manzanita open baffle speakers.

I tried to upload a picture, but it did not work.  Here is a link that might work.



I look forward to participating.

John, Welcome to the group. Would love to hear your gear. You should fit right in with the DIY guys.
Word of advice, STAY AWAY from Scott and Bob, Your bank account will thank you  .
Would love to see some pics, what turntable are you using?

Thanks for the warm welcome. When I try to upload a picture, I get this:

I will try a link again to a pic in Evernote: http://www.evernote.com/shard/s3/sh/2d3b6071-07a9-4f62-8abc-2433f1ee6958/c45603cc0f53867be83694e2f1f807e9

My primary truntable is the Clearaudio Concept with the Clearaudio MC.  I was a little disappointed with it until I switched from a Pro-Ject Box SE preamp to the Phonoclone 3.  With the Phonoclone, I am very happy with the table and cartridge.  I also have a vintage Denon with a Shure MM cartidge that I like, but it has developed a nasty hum that I have not had a chance to fix.

As for other stuff, I have a few Squeezeboxes, a couple of Speakercraft amps, an Arcam intergrated amp, an old Rotel CD player, the Pluto DIY speakers with subs, a pair of Ushers, the Manzanita DIY speakers, a home theater with an HD projector, and an Onkyo receiver into Paradigm speakers for the HT.

  That's a weird looking address.
That string of numbers at the end is the longest I've ever seen in an address.
Not sure what to do with that?

Is there a direct link to the gallery?

John,

Welcome to the asylum.  Don't worry about the other inmates, just feed them a bit of music, and usually they stay calm.
I do not see a pin with your name on it on the GAS map yet.  What area are you in?
I look forward to seeing you at a listening session sometime.

Hi John,

How do you like the Manzanitas?   They look pretty cool.  Welcome to the group and hope you can get out to some listening sessions.  Speaking of that......

Boys, we need to start hosting some listening sessions pretty soon.

Very soon (with the ones I'm building)

There can be *no* other!
