Hello All,
Due to budgetary constraints, and general interest, I am looking to get into DIY.
I would very much like to have a 4ch B22 or a Dynamite. I have been wanting to get into fully balanced for some time, but the entry price is prohibitive.
My questions is this: Can someone with 0 experience put one of these together, or am I risking a lot of money (or my life for that matter)?
Other than a cmoy, what would a be a good place to start if no? I would rather not do something with an op-amp, as I have a great op-amp based amp, and they look like a pain in the ass. Something discreet like the B22, Dynalo/dynamite or even CKIII.
What kind of experience should I have before attempting this?
Simply soldering things, and making sure things are wired up properly does not seem overly hard, just time consuming -but I fear there is more to it than that.
Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Currently I bought Stan Gibilisco's "Tech yourself electricity and electronics" and am slowly working through this book, but I am very eager to just get soldering and listening.
Also, if someone could go even further as to help me, could you help me figure out what kind of soldering Iron I need for these tasks. I would rather invest in something decent, than to buy crap a few times.
At this point I have nothing to offer the DIY community in return for your help, but once I get into this, I am sure I could!
Thanks guys
