An absolute noob

sagar · 24th December 2006, 04:48 PM

Hi all,

New to this forum, absolutely new to DIY audio. Am working in Chennai, India and have little experience with electronics. I'm still at the blinking lights stage

Looking to start off with making as simple an amp as possible. Would be great if someone could point out if the Tripath chip is a good way to start for a total beginner? Especially when one is based out of India. (Shipping, customs problems etc)

One day, i'd like to make an all-tube amp pre-amp setup.

Thanks for reading,
Sagar

Welcome!

I've found this site: http://www.boozhoundlabs.com/ to be very useful reading if you're going down the tube DIY path...as well as this forum, of course
