I like Mingus, I'm not a Mingus authority, that's where AH UM is from. I'm from Ventura, California. A small coastal town NW of L.A. I work as a carpenter in Santa Barbara about 30 miles up coast, a pleasent commute.
I was raised in L.A., in the 'valley' SFV. Born in 1950, antiwar boho hippy. Used to surf & sail (still do a little of both) Like to hike & backpack, was on a desert binge a while back, east Sierras is my favorite gettaway. Botany is one of my hobbies.
I like Music, lots of different kinds of music. It changes with my mood and interest (duh). I listen to the local college station and the NPR stations. KCRW & the one in San Luis Obispo.
I'm an electrical idiot (neophite). I still can't remember the difference between parallel & series. And I want to build a gainclone, since I can't afford a gaincard! 😉
I have an ASL AQ1002 pp EL34 amp,30Wt/chnl a Music Hall turntable and my DIY folded TQWP/radio shack 40-1354 drivers and it all sounds pretty good.
I'm currently building a bunch of speakers with a bunch of drivers that I aquired over the past year(s) or so including some TangBand driven ones for my friends new coffee shop.
In the future I want to build some Pi4s (maybe), and or some fostex driven speakers. And the gainclone ASAP.
Cheers Ron Wilkinson aka AH UM

Hi Ron,
Cheers,
Do call over to see us in the tube forum. 🙂I have an ASL AQ1002 pp EL34 amp,30Wt/chnl
Cheers,
Ah Hah !!!1!
I mean, Ah Um. I'm so pleased to discover another Truman baby.
Did I ever get teargassed with you? Do you ever lose patience with the 30 and under crowd? Do you sometimes become appalled?
Welcome to the club.
I can't welcome you here, representatively, on this forum, because I just, today, threw my name in the hat, too. But hang around, we'll talk.
Botany? Bless your heart. Brother of mine.
I've discovered quite a bit about persuading the electron to play us a tune. Get back with me. After you get a haircut. Hippie.
