Man, you don't ever stop. I'm getting old.....gotta build the crap while I can enjoy it. Me too. Would be nice to see "you" build something. Some how you just don't get the same satisfaction as when you put something together with your own hands. You need to pick up a tube kit! Trust me! ;D

I actually love building things.......just wish I had more time. I've just modded a lot of cars and bikes lately, but I do build custom PC's, etc. Not hard at all, but I did build my own speaker wires/power cables. I designed my living room fireplace and helped build it along with putting in the floor/AV gear in my fiance's office. Wish I had more time and I'd love to solder a few things again. I miss the smell of burnt resin in the morning....;-) speaker cable sets: Did all the flowerbeds, landscape lighting and planting myself: BEFORE: AFTER I built a fireplace with two waterfalls and water basin in my rental unit. I had never tiled before and just winged this from scratch: Back in my single days.....rebuilding my 600RR in the living room. I put a lot of money in that little bike (carbon fiber wheels and lots of goodies): New PC.....16gig of ram, 80gig solid state boot drive, 1.3TB of stowage....blah, blah, blah. I finished wire tucking everything after this pic: New power cables for the man cave: I also built this bike after changing out all the wheels, shifters, brakes, bar, seat, etc...pretty much everything except the frame and forks: Bought this house with my girlfriend and it looked like this when we moved in.......time to modify the living room: BEFORE AFTER So.......my girlfriend definitely deserves a ring for putting up with me and all the "projects" I am constantly working on. I just love tweaking and personalizing things. I feel sorry for my pool contractor.....he's gonna have his hands full. ;D

What kind of banana plugs did you use for speaker (WBT)? BTW good lack with a pool!

^^^ Well...not the whole building, but a condo in it. Actually, my first "owning" opportunity. Finally done being a nomad and moving all over the country. Woohoo! I did myself NO favors on the HT front. Walls of windows, concrete ceiling/construction, no dedicated space. But, every other factor involved in the place is amazing, so I'm going to make it work. I'm already forming the plan. Close in a couple of weeks.

Congrats! Is that building somewhat close to the freeway? When I was down in Chicago in April I remember seeing a building very similar to that thinking how cool it looked.

Probably the same one. It's the only thing above 7 stories for a couple of miles. It's fairly close to the highway, at about North and Clybourn.

If everything will be OK, next year probably gonna be shopping for condo to ;D

Picked up a Dynaco PAS-2 Tube Preamp on Ebay for $145.00 in prefect working condition. ;D Not very pretty but it has lot's of potential. I need to find a PAS-3 front chassis panel and knobs as this one looks a little dated. Pardon the image... I had to find something to post. New style front panel...
