New Member Introduction – Passionate About DIY Audio & Speaker Design

Hello DIYaudio community!

I’m Daisy, a longtime audio enthusiast and electrical engineer from Toronto, finally stepping out of the shadows after years of learning from your brilliant discussions. My journey began at 14 with a disastrous (but educational!) attempt to modify a pair of Sony bookshelf speakers—thankfully, I’ve since upgraded my skills.

Current Projects:

  • Designing a 3-way open-baffle speaker using Fane Sovereign drivers
  • Building a tube hybrid headphone amp (inspired by Pete Millett’s designs)
  • Repairing a vintage Pioneer SA-9100 I found at a garage sale
Why I’m Here:

  • To learn from your collective wisdom (especially on crossover tuning)
  • Share my SPICE simulation templates for tube circuits
  • Find collaborators for a waveguide design experiment
Question for the Group:

  1. What’s your go-to method for measuring cabinet resonances?
  2. Any favorite resources for learning horn theory?
  3. Who else thinks electrolytic capacitors are the devil’s work?
Excited to contribute to this knowledge-rich community. Feel free to roast my rookie designs—I thrive on constructive criticism!
