Greetings! Name's Jesse, from somewhere near Seattle.
I've been into DIY and audio for decades, now. Started with a little transistor radio kit when I was a kid, but kind of lost sight of the DIY side of things for a number of years. Picked it back up a few years ago when I decided to upgrade a pair of speakers. After that, it was time to try to build a pair of speakers. Still working on that one, but it was on hiatus for ahwile. Now that I'm picking it up again (and also working on a new 2-channel system), I'm looking at building the components. So, I'm researching preamps, amps, component selection, circuits, and watching a bunch of videos. Trying to decide what I want to do. Pretty sure I'm looking to make a class AB amp, and Wayne's BA 2018 preamp looks neat and apparently people think it sounds very good, but I also was looking at the AMB α10 and Akitika PR-102, and I'm having all kinds of trouble picking what I want to do.
Typical situation, too many choices. 😁
Cheers!
