Any DIY stuff in your system?


Back in the day, DIY was not unusual- whether from a kit or scratch built. Today, different story. 

Still, wondering how many folks incorporate some DIY in their gear.

I will start- 

I have DIY equipment

Bottlehead headphone amplifiers (I've built 2 of those) - these were kits; my first Bottlehead (Crack) is far from stock these days

Interconnects- all from scratch- cables have been DH Labs and Klotz and connectors have been Vampire, Neutrik and Rean- must admit I've built clones of the Rega Couple (Klotz AC-110 and Neutrik Profi)

Power cords- from scratch-  Belden and Supra, with Wattgate connectors

I have also modified tuners- first, a Dynaco and more recently, a Magnum Dynalab (which I eventually returned to stock) 

Now I'm contemplating building a small ultra high efficiency speaker (98 dB or better)

Building something yourself self that doesn't blow up, spark or smoke, or cause a fire, and actually sounds good, is very satisfying.
