I ought to introduce myself, really

[IanHarvey]

Hello everyone!

I'm in Cambridge, UK, where I design cryptographic security modules for a living, and audio gear for a hobby. In previous times I built & installed high-quality PA systems, and designed lots of stuff for Acorn computers.

I'm also happily married with one small daughter, who puts additional demands on the mass and rigidity of my loudspeaker stands ;-)

Cheers

Hi Ian

Welcome to the forums

Do you have a current project?

Cheers

I'm currently building a power amp using some PCBs from Avondale Audio - http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/avondale/ - and after that it's some loudspeaker stands and sorting out the room acoustics!

Cheers

Hi Ian and welcome to diyAudio

Cyptography, eh, sound interesting, bet you cant talk about it though!

What do you reckon to the Avondale stuff? I have looked at the site a few times and been a little intrigued, it will be good to hear your opinions when you're finished.

I can, but I'd have to say "9eA7hgJnBkc62n1am37ca"

The power amp itself is a fairly simple, classic class-AB design, but it looks like it's received a decent amount of tweaking. I'll certainly let you know how I get on.
