Hi all
I am a Civil Engineer just starting out in audio electronics. I am never going to have the level of knowledge I see in many members here but have been learning electronics by experiment and simulation for the last year. I have many of the tools needed to undertake diy projects and have even made my own pcbs recently for micro projects.
I am really keen to start building some audio projects. I appreciate good audio, my setup consists of a NAD 7225pe with a set of Whafedale Diamond 10.1, but I am no audiophile. I thought I would start with the ACA and ACP+ before realising some parts are very hard to get. Anyway, the pcbs and fets are in transit from the store and eBay.
I am quite keen on testing my skills with either a chip amp or old retro amp on a single sided board. The info in the forums is a little overwhelming, is there anything recommended to build for a beginner knowing my basic speakers and setup ?
Cheers
Richard

Richard,
Welocme to diyAudio :^)
The ACA will sound quite different than the NAD, but the wharfedale might have an impedance that is insufficently flat to be a good match. More an issue if you get to bridged.]/balanced monoBloks. [due to highish amplifier output impedance.

Hi Dave
Bugger. Ohh well I am hoping to learn a lot during the ACA build.
Is there an amp build you could recommend for the wharfedales ? Solid state or chip amp ? Many if the forum posts are so long its a but daunting for a beginner.The NAD has a nice warm sound with great bass to my ears.
