Hello from Tennessee

Hello
My electronic journey began with helping my father in his side business of repairing tv's and other items when I was about 10 or 12. All tube stuff mainly, and it's kinda tough learning to solder P to P at that age, using a big classic Weller gun type iron...lol.
I work in electronic assembly now...still doing hand solder thru hole work.
I could never afford the" good stuff" in audio...at least new...picked up some nice things used or in need of minor repair over the years tho.
There wasn't near as much DIY years ago...but now I'm looking forward to the rediscovery of something I truly enjoy. Many thanks to the store and the esteemed Mr. Nelson Pass as I knew of his designs and products but never thought I could afford one...
Till I ordered the ACA Mini and can't wait to get it up and running.
Cheers
Jody
