Greetings & hello! I’ve come here to love & learn and once again try my hand at a fading dream. At heart I’m a true do-it-yourselfer but in reality, I’m not much on my own. I need the help of forums like this one in order to actually accomplish anything worthwhile. I’m nearing 60 years old and for many reasons have now found myself living in the Philippines. In the move I have, in one way or another, lost possession of all my woodworking tools, almost all of my (partially complete) electronics projects, the years of collecting speaker drivers and components and all on my functioning stereo system. I’m left with a few dozen vacuum tubes, an old Carry tubed preamp, an incomplete 3886 4 channel amp, some Pass inspired pcbs a couple high efficiency drivers , a pair of woofers I tried to recone and, a huge desire to get some music back into my life. I’ve come here in search of assistance through watching , asking questions and hands-on participation in order to get, up and running what I consider my last decent system before I completely give up on the diy construction aspect of this great musical hobby. If all the stars line up in a nice neat row I’ll be buying selling and better yet, trading off all my surplus & unneeded parts and pieces. Here’s the catch, I’m in the Philippines and this makes it super difficult to transact with the outside world for a few reasons witch I’ll not mention here. I feel with the size of the enormous population here, there Has to be some sort of diy audio community here but not speaking the local language and not having a clue where to start, I have yet to find my fellow hobbyists. Anyway, that’s me, my interest and my internet. Thanks:)
