Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make?

Finished the build on my 12" Tannoy speakers (enclosures are 150 liters nearly 2" thick MDF, @ 192 lbs. each, built custom crossovers using Mundorf capacitors, Alpha Core inductors and Dueland resistors, rebuilt my Garrard 401 turntable, built my plinth, and installed a Dynavector tonearm.

I also built many interconnects and power cables over the years. If I had to buy this stuff new and and/or already built, my system wouldn't be any near as good sounding as it is. And, I enjoyed myself in the process.

i build a lot of wires--speaker cables, interconnects, etc. 

I have the stuff on the way to rebuild the crossovers on my 4 way speakers.

I am building a set of outriggers for the same speakers.

I installed a dedicated 240V 30 amp circuit for my system.

I built custom low mass speaker binding posts from all non-metal parts except the center conductor.

I'm thinking of building a custom wood chassis for my amp.  But I'm less into woodwork and more into metalwork nowdays.

Ask me about my other hobbies, I build a lot of stuff for them.  I have a metalworking machine shop in my garage.

My son and I built a record storage shelf with Zebrawood top. My son did all the welding on the metal framing.

Cartridges unmodified.

@terry9  Would be interested in your tonearm design, have a turntable that could use one...as well as a deck for the table itself.  Since I work with locust (robinia), I've lots of 'drop' planks as thick as one could care to apply....

Hard and dense, laughs at carbide.... ;)

DIY TT switch for 3 tables, the 3rd needs an 'input'...allows for RIAA (or not) and anything else I'd care to run 'in' or 'out to'...

DIY 'stand' for all; two 1" thick slabs of polished stone supported by a heavy pine frame.  Takes 2 to think of moving it...bumping it will hurt you before either TT notices it.

Anything that can rack mount is, and is on the above as well.

Have built speaker cabs of various shapes for the 'typical' sort of drivers.  Most of that takes a back-seat to the DIY Walsh drivers I play about with for the last 15 years on and off....

Some berserk concepts of a surround AMT array with a distributed sub array to go along with a surround Walsh array is pending, but will await moving lock, stock, and everything else to a new home in a vaguely sub-rural location.  That in itself will have 2 spaces open to treatments as desired.

One of which has the SAF issue, but as long as it has 'plug & play' simplicity, she's good to go with it. ;)

All of the above is dependent on the 'spare time' that I've in limited quantity, but I'll manage....*G*
