Hello everyone,
I am a long time audiophile who enjoys making DIY audio. This passion stated with building Heathkits as a youngster.
I am a frustrated electrical engineer with a mechanical engineering degree from Purdue University. Most of my career has been as an optical engineer.
My quest for the audio holy grail started 20+ years ago with a pair of Klipsch KLF-20 speakers. I fell in love with Klipsch in high school when an older friend bought a pair of Klipshorns.
My next purchase was a 2A3 SET amp kit from Bottlehead. I recently upgraded to JJ 2A3-40 tubes, which made a huge improvement.
For digital, I stream flac files from my laptop through a Bifrost Multibit DAC with USB interface. Sounds very nice.
This Christmas I bought a Lenco L-75 turntable which now has a new plinth and Stanton 681 cart. Hope to upgrade some time to a Denon DL-103 MC cart.
When one channel of my Schitt Mani stopped working, a build a Bugle 2 phono preamp. As an upgrade, I've ordered a set of boards for a BigBottle preamp from Bigman80. Looking forward to building the kit.
Thanks for the acceptance to your group. Hope to learn a lot from ya'll.
Paul
