So, what else do you do for fun. . .

[BillyK]

We all know we’re here about our favorite plant and how to do all things with them but I was curious about what else folks do for amusement. Other than gardening I build audio gear, listen to it and drink beer. For my day job I run an IT shop for a govt. agency.
I built this for one of my step sons this winter. It’s a pre-amp with headphone amp and a phono pre as well.

Love to listen to records, remember them? They’re having a huge comeback lately. Pretty cool.

Let’s see what you do!!

Drain beer mugs twice a week, smoke dope, watch the idiot box, and mow. Also collect off the wall stupid shit. Latest has been coffin crucifixes.

Oh, and pet the new kitten and watch and feed outdoor and indoor critters.

Let’s see what you do!!

The same thing. I frequent Diyaudio.com and have built most of the Pass amps, preamps and phono preamp s. Just finished a new preamp, and putting finishing touches on new preamp.

My other thing is guns. Handguns and long guns. I reload various calibers and build AR15 rifles.

Looks like an AR table? I have what's left of one, only the wood case and metal top plate are original. The rest had full house Merrill modifications, weight, perimeter ring, tone arm and moving coil.

I use to build computers for a HOBBY. First one i built was in 1998. It was a Pentium 933 that i overclocked to 1050. It was a fking dinosaur in today's processor speeds.

 

[Bubba]

I have at least 4 systems running at any given time in various rooms.

Basement is a 70 watt tube amp I built with 600 volt rails, driving AltecVoice of the theatre A7 speakers for old school.

Yow! Nice collection!! Sad to report I lost most of mine to a flooded basement, a real crime. I had maybe two thirds of what you show.

I like to cook, bake and paint rocks too for the kids in the neighborhood to trade. Love seeing them at my rock garden picking a new rock and leaving one.
