I created my account in 2010... but this is my first post. I suppose it was finally time to say hello.

I'm a hobbyist with a particular interest in high-value, commercial and DIY "budget audiophile" gear -- gear that punches above its weight class.
I also have a particular interest in helping newcomers get into the hobby, which dovetails nicely with the interest in the budget gear.
Looking forward to getting to know the folks around here and, hopefully, contributing!
