I finally have time on my hands to dig into some projects.
Small tube amps and full range speakers are my current obsession.
Current system involves my rebuilt Acoustat 1+1’s, driven by a Threshold T-100 (60W/ch Class A)
in a 17’x12’ acoustically treated room, still in progress…
Various sources embraced: CD, Tidal and the traditional 12” polycarbonate disc.
Thanks for this amazing resource!

I’m sure many here do!
thanks for the welcome.
I wonder if there is any interest in the services of an experienced turntable setup guy in our area?
(obviously limited by location and travel limitations)
I’m not soliciting trade here: I just wonder what people are doing about careful setup in these troubled times.
Just spinning Pat Metheny, Road to the Sun. 👍
Welcome to the forum. There is a long time forum member and moderator also from south VI. It's a lovely place.
You must be close to my brother's place on Dallas Rd. Where I live, space is not so expensive, but I still have no time for vinyl or space heaters.
Hi Mark,
In Sooke Steve,
Mark & i chatted for about an hour yesterday and it turns out we met at a B&) training thing in Toronto in 1979. Could not stomach much B&O after that.

I’m actually in East Sooke: almost at the end of the road, though I would love a Dallas rd. address if my ship comes in! We built here in 2018.
I’m just getting back into the diy audio pursuit.
Recent projects: rebuilt my Acoustat 1+1s, built a Bottlehead “Crack” headphone amp, and just about to start an Amp Camp Amp, maybe two.
Immensely satisfying to listen to stuff I have built myself.
Such a stark contrast to the pointless “hamster wheel“ of my work life.

That is so comical, Dave. That event, designed to inspire B&O sales, was part of the reason I left the shop I was at, to work in a shop with great gear and a passion for music. Which eventually brings us here…
I'm guessing not a ton, but I do see turntables come up for sale locally quite often, so maybe some of the shops (not many left) could use your help. You'd have to ask around.

I am guessing you are right, Jeff.
Not really trying to set up a biz…just wondered how people were managing.
Probably a question better suited to a Vinyl forum than a diy group.
