I have been a DIY Member for 10 years but have never posted - this needed first?

Went to post to comment on this years Burning Amp Festival but was stopped because apparently I need to introduce myself first.
I started my audio design journey in 1971 after university, never looked back and now I am a semi-retired Engineer/Executive getting back into analog audio design.
Some people put ships in bottles, I love researching, designing and building audio stuff that I really have no use for.
I find the diyAudio forum very interesting for observing and learning from knowledgable individuals as well as for a perspective into the minds of individuals who are serious about building audio gear but really have no background to help them along.
 
There are :^)

You’ve been here a while, so a welcome is probably supefluous.

Note: the mandatory Intro post was a recent change. It does a few things. Foremost it does a lot to weed out spammers & robots, it is nice to hear from “new” members, and it probably encourages posting. Many old members with (any) posts before the major software platdform upgrade were caught up in that.

So now you got the courage, post something so that we can start a conversation. I am your age as well as the same background and I have been here since 2005. Researched and designed things all my life. So welcome to the crowd of the nutty audio world.
