Thanks for contributing.Gotta think those over.
My focus is the person who has a non-music, non-audio job, but might play the piano or sing in a chorus or choir or just love music, and I want to let that person know that by spending five times what a shelf system from Best Buy would cost, you can get ten times as much music in your home.
This person I think no more wants to own a soldering iron than does Rebecca Romijn-Stamos.
But I will think it over. Perhaps a good summer project for my daughter.
Ciao,
Follow Ups:
my 17-year old daughter has just started building a Bottlehead Foreplay Pre-amp, after watching me build some Bottlehead Paramours (and a couple other projects). She's fascinated by it, and couldn't be happier. My Dad built all his stuff back in the 50s and early 60s, and I learned from him, and the kids love that angle,also. The kits available now bring back the good old days, with excellent products and lots of ways to customize tone to your own taste. Another thing, is the kids today are have never seen or heard of tubes, and my kids were shocked that anything electrical could be "built." My son (19) just a Foreplay, and we're listening to it now- he couldn't be prouder of it. Check out the AudioAsylum sponsors that sell kits- Bottlehead, Pi Speakers, Welborne, DIY Cable, etc.- great variety and quality.
