A humble hello to one and all.
As to who I am and what I’m about – I got back into audio after my retirement from having to work for a living (go ahead – eat your hearts out).
Once upon a time I worked in a hi-fi store (remember those) as a repair technician but left that seeking to make enough money to pay the bills with. I did get enough experience working with the gear to understand that there isn’t a perfect system – thus my signature line. I've been in electronics for to long to remember - tubes, xsistors, IC's - been there - done dat.
I have DIY’ed a pair of L/R mains using ESS AMT1’s and a Pioneer 10 inch mid woofer – long story – that sound fairly good. Of courssssssse – there are always new designs to think about and play with. Currently messing around with an OB design using some Mark Audio Alpair 10’s that a friend gave me and I’ll pair those up with something to take up the 20 to 300 low end – probably a 15 inch woofer on an U or H frame configuration.
Also currently looking at DIYing some amps to bi-tri-amp drive the speakers using the PC for EQ and room correction – etc.
I got here by following the never ending trail of breadcrumbs regarding DAC’s and came upon the thread about the E-MU 204’s.
Sooooo –that’s the short story!
Glad ta be here!!!!
