From lurker to member

Thanks to everyone here for contributing to this great community. I've been reading the forums for a while and just joined.

I currently have a Rotel preamp and Antique Sound Lab 8w monoblocks, with an MHDT Orchid dac for the source and Tekton Perfect SET speakers. Interested in First Watt diy and learning more about preamp options.

I did once build a diy guitar pedal, but it stopped working and I haven't yet got it sorted out. So, I probably need some soldering practice.

Anyway, I'm a big fan of lots of music. Listening today included Wayne Shorter, Old & New Dreams, Lightning Bug, Keith Jarrett... Plus I'm in the middle of a very cool Youtube video with Andrew Bird and Jonathan Richman.
