Hi Everyone!,
I'm an old semi-retired college professor and have a modest system and budget for my audio hobby. Although this is my introduction to audiocircle, I've been lurking, enjoying, and learning from members for a few years already. My current system (all were purchased second hand except for dac: Primaluna Prologue One, Rega Apollo cd player, Meridian Director dac, Monitor Audio Silver RS6, and LSA 1 monitors) reveals a movement towards a computer based system, which is going well and sounds good to my old ears. Since I have a modest budget, I've recently been experimenting with making my own cables. In progress is a pair of speaker jumper cables (DH Labs Silver Sonic T-14 cable and connectors - purchased off of ebay) and am planning to make a pair of interconnects using DH Labs BL-1 Series II cables. About two years ago I made a three string cigar box guitar for my oldest son who is a musician. With the time, effort, and costs for the tools required to make the guitar I could have bought him a very good six string guitar!!! As I am retiring, I hope to participate more in audiocircle forums. Love the triffid question!
