        Welcome, Bill! Even if the path I follow to the Dark Side may not give me cause to often to post here- glad to see this up!

        My role lately seems destined to be the Dark Lord of Digital...

        ...now that it's possible to finally get some that sounds decent.

        Still, I'm interested to hear about the analog side, especially preamps and power amps.

                    Hey! Nobody told me anything about a door?
                    Jeez! I got all kind of stuff to learn about being a mod.

                    Dan (PewterTA) and I (mostly Dan) have been making some changes and mods to my system lately. Hope to be done soon so I can have something interesting to talk about.

                    In the meantime, I will be relying on our experts here (say hello to the nice people, Lee) for input and general banter.

                      Hello , Nice People! :later: I'm hoping to get my stuff out here soon , which will allow me to begin tube rolling. Time to research 12AX7A options. Also thinking about a DIY tube amp. Something small and simple. With a low power amp it should be more affordable to go with very high quality components. Which will lead to DIY , sensitive , speakers........
                      You have to get better security on this door. Look what you got me into already! LOL

                        Yeah. I got a call in to Richard Kiel aka 'Jaws' to see if he is available to be my bouncer.

                            OK, you need to bring me up to speed, Lee.
                            I thought you still were in Ohio? And you have been forced to temporarily abandon your gear! Dear lord of audio Nirvana, what on earth did you do to so damage your audiophile karma?

                            Regarding the ‘flea watt’ system, it has always been a goal of mine to assemble such a rig.

                                Yeah , it's a long story , but my gear is in a friend's house many miles from where I am. It's boxed up , in all the original packaging , but the speaker boxes are not suitable for anything but shipping on a pallet (80+ lbs. each). I'm also looking at these guys http://classdaudio.com/ for the short term.

                                  Hey, what does not kill us makes us stronger, Right!

                                  I’m sure you will have things sorted out soon.

                                  In the meantime, have you considered a frugal computer system as a short-term supplement?

                                  We assembled a trick little rig at work. Got a used soundcard with a fairly decent DAC for a few bucks and this class D 15 watt amp and bookshelf bundle. We then bought a mini portable 1gig hard drive that we download our lossless FLAC & WAV audio files to. This little system holds forth surprisingly well, easily embarrassing equipment well beyond its meager cash outlay.
