Hi guys just thought I would introduce myself!
I am an engineering student in southeastern wisconsin from northeastern wisconsin. I started out dabbling in the car audio world and eventually found that it was easier to put more stereos in a house than a car.
Most of my audio equipment comes from dumpsters and thrift stores. I see something that looks good and I go for it. I am currently powering a pair of Electro-Voice SH15-2 horn loaded stage speakers with a samson servo 200 amplifier coming out of a Yamaha receiver from the 80's. I enjoy rattling the walls with some good old vinyl!
I am currently in the process of repairing a samson servo 550 studio amplifier that I pulled from a recycling pile with a vented cap, so anyone with knowledge there can feel free to shoot me a couple tips!
I'll be lurking around the forums trying to find places I can post intelligently so keep an eye out for me!

Hi Freestuffrocks welcome to diyAudio! It is amazing what people throw out these days!! We definitely live in a disposable age.

It truly is amazing and sickening at the same time. I couldn't even begin to list all of the electronics and furniture I have picked up out of dumpsters and off of curbs just because they were replaced with something newer. I don't even want to think about the amazing audio equipment that made it past the ever searching eyes of people like us
Welcome to the forums 'Freestuffrocks'............Let's not forget the occasional Garage sales.....Especially the 'Girlfriend pricing that "Stereo stuff"'.
I obtained the bulk of my system from one such Garage sale. Yamaha pre, Harmon Kardon tuner and Carver amp........$35? USD.
Glad to have you aboard.
