i have spent so much money in the past week, then i decide to build a new amp. sure not a really expensive amp, but the most expensive one i have ever built, a Hybrid Tube amp

i haven't bought everything yet, and i have already spent around 160.00

Wait til you mess up and have to do it again and then the second time you buy the wrong parts and each time you order there are minimums. FUN!

I know what you mean, brschmid. I have to try not to DIY too often, because DIY is definately not about saving money. It is addictive, that's for sure. I am really trying to tell myself I don't need a PPA...I don't need a PPA...really...

I'm in the middle of a slump right now where I haven't had much of an urge to build anything. Over the years, I've saved a fair bit of money by DIYing (on everything -- cars/trucks, house, computers, audio equipment, etc.). Normally, I'd begin a new phase of DIYing whenever I was paid for a contract. Well, I'm receiving payment on a job this week, but this time I don't have the urge to spend it on headphones, amps, DIY parts, or anything else audio-related.

I guess this is a good thing, in terms of my finances, so I probably shouldn't be complaining.

yes , you are doomed forever man !

Now all you have to do is move a workbench into an unused room , install GFIs in place of the wall outlet , hook up your main online computer and lock the damn door .

when parts arrive have someone slide them under the door , maybe some food at times too , and stay in there until you build amp after amp after amp after........................

At least I don't have to order stuff online since I can buy almost everything at the local stores. On the other hand this instant gratification means I end up looking for things to build, I'm trying to tell myself I don't need to build the Gilmore "Dyna-hi" amp since I already have 2 "Dyna-lo" amps...but since I found & built up an PSU kit it's getting harder to resist....
