Illuminati (3rd Degree)

I'm a semi constructor. Starting out in the mid 80's building a Hafler amplifier kit that I still use for home theater now. I picked up some wood butchering experience and started to build speakers from plans. When I got interested in tube gear I built my monoblock amps from a kit and felt confident enough to build from a schematic to do a pre amplifier. I've never progressed to the point of design and build but feel satisfied to have found the diy designers that made my sweat equity get a very high return on my outlay.
