Janos has a good point. I also went this route when I was in your shoes many years ago. I had the advantage that I was well versed in electronics, machining, etc. (I'm an experimental physicist by trade). DIY offers a very different prospective than store bought gear. One gains the satisfaction of one's own handiwork. It is not hard to make something that sounds good. It is, however, not trivial to make something that sounds great. The resources on the web are numerous compared to a decade ago. Start small and work your way up. Once you start DIY, you'll view commercial gear differently (i.e. they charge how much for that poorly made piece of crap?!?!!)On the otherhand, I retired from DIY when I compared the sound of my last DIY project (2 years of work) to Ken Shindo's entry level preamp.
