I think an "Electronic Crftsman" forum is a great idea. I would, however, like to see it taken one step further: maybe I speak for no one other than myself, but I think a group-build would be very educational and fun. What I mean is: we would decide on a project and each build it to our own skill/price level. For a novice like me, the resources at hand would simply be invaluable. We could start with a very basic amp or preamp with technical, sourcing, troubleshooting, and listening discussions.
Granted there will only be a few people doing this in the beginning. But for people like me that learn better by doing than reading, I think it is an idea that could catch on......my $0.02....Colin
