Greetings from Richardson TX USA

Hi all,

Just registered today to take advantage of this great resource. I am starting to get the DIY speaker bug.

In my youth (many decades ago) I built many a Heathkit, Fisher (dimly recall) and Knight-kit for audio and ham radio.

These days I am semi-retired and operate a computer software business.

Just converted a spare room to a small home theater with a nice Panasonic projector. Now I find myself being sucked in to upgrading the audio for it, little by little

Right now I have a pair of Fostex FE127's on order from
Madisound, and have built a couple of BR enclosures just to fool around with them when they come in.

I really look forward to soaking up all the good info here. I doubt that I will have anything meaningful to contribute for quite a while, but there is always hope...

Thanks for letting me in.

Welcome, fellow Texan, to your new home.

Regarding those FE127s, soak up this .

Hi I work Texas Instruments and live near Spring Valley, good to meet a neighbor


Have you checked out Tanners Electronics over off of Valwood and I-35? They have some descent electronic stuff, though not very much "Hi-Fi" stuff, but still a great resource for parts and good prices.

Isn't everyone in Ricahardson semi-retired???

(I'm not talking ot you kids.) [joke]

The only question is whether it is voluntary or not.............

I appreciate it. I will have to check out Tanners soon.

Luckily I was never in the Telecom Industry, and have been operating my little business for the last 12 years. Lots of empty buildings still here, though.

A was going to build some surrounds with the FE127E's but I did something else. So now I have them in, and am playing around to see what they can do.

I look forward to exchanging info with the folds here.

[Jocko Homo]

That means that I won't have to out weasel you on a job interview.

Assuming that any of us ever get any.............

another welcome from your neighbour in the "far north"

i'm sure you'll enjoy those fostex' , ... although if i were to use them again, i have a hunch i'd use the 206e

I've been traveling to Richardson TX on and off for the last 3 years for work. Nice place. I really like your TX BBQ, and your water towers that always say where you are. Welcome!
