I'm a longtime audiophile who's become more and more DIY-oriented over the years. Bought my first system as a high school student in the late 1970s (Pioneer receiver and turntable, Technics speakers) and discovered tubes when I bought a Wheatfield Audio headphone amp in the 1990s. Built a Bottlehead preamp kit a few years later and I got hooked on DIY tube projects (audio and guitar amps). I'm still no electrical engineer, but I can read a schematic and figure out a suitable layout.

My latest interest is Open Baffle speakers. Bought a pair of Caintuck Betsys to pair with my first 300B amp (Bottlehead Kaiju) and I was stunned at how much I liked them.

Hello from another forum newbie! I am fascinated by the DIY side of audio equipment. I have no experience working on electronics or with woodworking but I long to try building something. I live in a small apt. though and my wife would not like the smells or noise that might be involved but a man can dream!
