Introduction

Good day everyone,

I'm a complete hack, but enjoy soldering and fixing electronics when I can. I hate the disposable world we have become. My taste is for McIntosh, unfortunately my budget is not. Hey, I can dream can't I? I've been fortunate to have been able to make a living as a photographer, but working for a little company I wear many hats. This summer will be my 34th year at this and I'm trying to retire in a few months. My "Honey-Do" list is long but I like to keep busy working on projects. I live in the land of ice and snow (Minnesota) and am a huge Zeppelin. Six months of the year here are very enjoyable. I have a cobbled together old school stereo cabinet filled with a reel-to-reel, CD player, receiver and turntable going to Polk Audio speakers with a sub. I don't get to listen to it enough.

Thank you in advance for your expert assistance.
