In Reply to: I hate Freakin' DIY Stereo! posted by B. Scarpia on September 5, 2020 at 11:44:56:
My first stereo system was built (literally) around Dynakits; the famous ST-70, a PAS-3, and a FM-3. I'd never soldered prior to that, so I practiced a bit with scrap wire. Then I inventoried everything, not just to insure all parts were there but to learn what each one was. I had physics in HS but no other electronics training. Then I carefully read every step in the instructions and checked off each one as I went. All three pieces worked. A few years later after moving close to Philadelphia I took them to the factory for a check up. They reported they only touched up a few solder connections, otherwise everything was good.
Encouraged by that I latter build a HK Citation 12 amp, Dyna ST-400 and PAT-5, and Hafler 101 and 200. Everything worked upon completion. Even though I was only following instructions for provided parts I came away with a real sense of satisfaction. But then I'm the sort who enjoys washing their car by hand for the pride in how good it looks afterward. ;^)
