I agree, pinkfloyd4ever - what a treat it was to take part in the festival from my own home. Once the Zoom bugs were worked out it was good and I, personally, learned a lot from the presenters. And it saved me some money because, had I seen any of the First Watt amps "in the flesh" I'd be a new owner right about now. So very tempting! :yikes:

I take it that all the parts were there and the amplifiers worked...

:snail:

YES!

Thank you all very much... for everything you all have done.

It had been almost 30 years since I put a PC board together,,, thankfully I found out that soldering it is like riding a bike -the night before I was nervous... "what did I get myself into this time?"... didn't burn the building down and the amps sound really great.

Now, I got the bug again. Hmm... what next? Perhaps an F6M with an expensive transformer? I mean, just because I'm a DIY'er, doesn't mean I'm cheap.... I just prefer VALUE. ;-)

Thanks to everybody... there are too many names... but EVERYBODY was an absolute class act and I made personal contact with people whom I had only met previously over this forum. Now they know I'm not completely nuts... and oddly enough they still liked me. Phew!

A bunch of people with whom I share a lot of hobbies... intelligent people that had intelligent opinions, happy attitudes and were a blast to talk/listen to. And really good audio systems too.

It was my first BA, in a great location. I can not thank you all enough for this.

Oh, and Jim showed me that the darn choke is NOT hooked up across the speaker.... phew! And, I won't forget how he taught this old fart how to think outside the box for a couple of things. Many thanks for all the help on the amps.

Anyhow, THANK TO YOU ALL.... hopefully we'll meet again next year.

BTW. I left before the FW amps hit the auction. I had a 430 mile drive home... so I wanted to get by midnight. I did it in six hours.... OK, that was a excuse.. Wife told me NOT to go nuts on spending money....
