DIY progress report

Nice. I also started the monster DIY project thread...never finished it.

My 15 minutes of fame.

Don't worry about it. I've just 'finished' a Zen amp...Dennis

I built my Zen amp 5 times. Caught fire at least 2 times.
What a learning experince.

Caught fire at least 2 times.

You sound like a fun neighbor, Vince.
Does your neighbor know you are the No 1 diyA racketeer ?

No collateral damage, but it's scary when you see those sandcast resistors pop for the first time!

If I didn't finish the Zen amp, I wouldn't have continued in DIY audio. Building the BOZ gave me hope. It's still running from the first build.

My point is- never give up on DIY audio!! It's the best distraction from life's problems! Long live DIY audio and DIYAUDIO.COM!!!

Hi there,

it looks cool. Thats a KIT right? I think I have seen the layout somewhere before. Looks like a buffered tube output.
Thanks for the link.

That sounds somewhat disheartened. Any particular reason?

Yeah, he leaves, but always comes back.

 

[Blues]

I think he means "living", right jleaman?

 

[steenoe]

I think he just meant leaving like all of us, one day at the time
Right J'?
Nice work on that DAC.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

Rome . . . ?
Isn't it just one cubicle of Rome?
