Another Nuebie Vermonter

[dave_gerecke]

Finally registered with diyaudio.com. I've been looking off and on for two+ years. Interested in audio since I was in grade school. Like to experiment with electronics also. Interested in building all types of amplification; tubes, discreet, op-amp. Also planning on some speakers builds. Mostly collecting more equipment than one man(city?) really ever needs. And so, off we go into the wild audio yonder!

Hi Dave and welcome to the forums. I can relate to the collecting too much part.

Thanks Cal. It's good to be here. Is there anywhere here in the forums where you have a listing of your equipment? I am a little curious how bad others affliction is compared to mine

Hello Planet10, Thanks for the name complement. I would have to agree that your name is cool also

I'm just recently getting back into experimenting with my equipment. I've been off into other interests for a while. My main system consists of an Acurus ACT-3 preamp, AB International Precedent 600 & 900 amps (passive bi-amp). I mostly listen to CD's and I'm currently using a cheapo Insignia DVD recorder for this. I'm waiting for the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray shakeout to finish.

As far as the DIY stuff, I haven't decided what to start with. I have enough parts to build a dozen or so amps/preamps, etc. I am thinking a gainclone for my PC, since I the speakers I have for it are OEM PC garbage.

Thanks for the welcome.

Peace,

Dave

Hi Dave,

There are certain areas in different forums to post your stuff. A lot of persons here have collected for quite some time including me. Nothing like planet10 Dave though.
