So, I've been lurking the boards for a while, and finally have reached a point where I can feasibly attempt a few designs. I'm a 21 year old student taking a year off from UM, living at home in Troy. I'm taking classes at the local CC in addition to working at a local hifi joint, The Gramophone. I'll be upgrading my entire system in about 2 weeks, to Paradigm Studio 100s, ADP470 and CC570, added to my DIY Tempest sonosub, powered by a Denon 3805 and DVD2200 (hopefully that'll get upgraded too...changing the enclosure).
My main interests are speakers and amps. I figure that I might as well take advantage of the employee benefits, since i can sell parts off for a decent profit if I so chose to really get into DIY in the future.
Other than that...I'm a big geek with a big social life 😛 I do it all...I party like a college student, and then I'll have Star Wars & Monty Python marathons with my friends the next day 😉
Say hi, and if you're in my area, I'd love to get some help learning all of this stuff!

Nice to see a youngster joining. 😀 (God.. I never thought I'd find others to be youngsters. 😀 ) I was a couple of years younger than you are now, when I built my first DIY audio thing. It was a mono amp plus speakers, built around a TDA2020 chip and a Philips India 8" dual-cone (so-called) full-range speaker driver. We hooked it up to a Walkman in our hostel wing, and had room-filling music. Great fun! 🙂 I remember sitting awake till the early hours, listening to "The Wall" and driving ourselves into a depressive tailspin. Or piling onto one chap's bed and generally listening to "Asia" or "Dire Straits." We were about half a dozen thick-as-thieves friends in our wing of our college hostel.
Any specific ideas what you want to build now? You seem to be buying a lot of stuff, so I was wondering whether there are any immediate building plans too. 🙂
