HiFi Kit Building- have you ever built any hifi gear?
Way back, building a hifi component from a kit was an available alternative from many manufacturers; today, not do much.
Have you ever built any gear from a kit? I’ve built two Bottlehead headphone amplifiers.
Always best to take a broader view when subjects are insular, as this one is looking to be. https://www.stereonet.com/forums/topic/570920-rebuilt-dodgy-diy-projects/ There are other reports also able to be read, which I feel confident are accurate in content. |
As a university freshman at UW-Madison WI, I purchased a Dynaco SCA-80Q kit and a pair of The Smaller Advent Loudspeakers from The Happy Medium. I soldered the kit together at my tiny dorm room desk, Of course, I made a mistake, and the amp did not power up. A trip back to the store, and few days with their tech solved that, and my roommate’s pair of Advents and a Dual 1215 table with a Shure M91 were added to the loudest, proudest system on our floor. We had created the center of gravity! I still have that Dynaco, dead and sitting on my desk, the base for a Linn Kan speaker. |
