Don't worry, Tofu,

There are some really great-sounding systems in the group, but you and I can make ours sound good enough for us without driving ourselves crazy. I've had a number of shocks listening to systems - it's really intriguing to see what difference can occur when changing something that in no way can scientifically affect sound! Just don't let it stop you from having fun.

It's a great feeling to build something yourself and use it. My stuff may not sound as good as David's, but by golly it's mine, I did that! The gang here are very free with their information and help, so you can go as far as you want. Maybe a year ago I finally finished building a turntable from a couple pieces online (did machine stuff myself, just the plinth), and had all kinds of helpful suggestions. I may put more of them into play now that I have a base to work from. I'm also working on a phono amp (see Project Discussions) and continue to ask for comments. It's a great group of people to know!

Agreed! Now I have this pile of books and websites to make sure I don't have any free time for a while.

Free time? I'd probably waste it somehow (drinking? Reading romance novels?) I'm currently confused between building a phono pre-amp and restoring a 1965 Pontiac Tri_power system (three two-barrel carburetor intake system). Have to make both room and money.

If you spend enough time working on the tri-power, you may not need the phono stage, as you won't be able to hear the difference any more :character-oldtimer:
