Hello DIYers. I am just about to begin my great adventures into DIY audio. Ive been browsing through these forums for many years now and wanting to build my own system for the same length of time.
I am finally going to take the jump and throw all my hard earned cash into something which will hopefully be a great success!
I have reasonable skills with soldering etc, and a basic understanding of electronics, being an electrician for over 20years, but thats big wires and AC voltages, not the the tiny electronics side of things I am about to dive into. The general understanding of how the inners of amplifers, pre amps actally function will be a steep and enjoyable learning curve.
My starting point will be putting together an F4 amp. This may sound like a poor option with the ACA being a simpler beginners project. But why not, the best way to learn is to jump in feet first.
I already have a lot of very simple and maybee stupid questions and advice to ask.. So be prepared 🙂

Welcome pmeeke! I found this forum last June and have thoroughly enjoyed my new hobby. I am a relative newcomer to DIY but have found this site and it's members to be an invaluable source of information and expertise. Best of luck to you.

Hello guy. Welcome. Enjoy the forum. We encouraged you to tell us your doubths and questions and kick them away.
Welcome Indeed!
Just to bump the numbers I inhabit this little island too! So far more a "lurker" then a "poster". Lots of great stuff here and there is so much I wish I had read before I started some of my projects, but they are all working well now thankfully.
I have built a few amps, one pre-amp, a bunch of active filters and equalizers and a pair of quad amped active speakers. I'm not quite at the end of the road on the speakers although they are working well enough.
Good luck with the amp!
Jeff.
