Just for fun, what projects have you got lurking in your garage to while away the winter blues?

I've got some lenco fettling, valve assessment and some experimentation with some ebony footers on the boil.

Have Transcendent Sound Pinnacle 300b OTL monoblocks to build, should keep me busy for a while.

Bought an old CD player (using CDM4/19 transport) and looking to convert to SPDIF output as only analogue out at the moment.

Some valve rolling - I have just purchased some Telefunkens so these will be compared against my superb Teslas in the Croft.

Just picked up a pair of 63s. Though they seem to be repairing themselves as I left them at mrdog's and hes replaced panels on one and is getting stuck into the second. With that in mind I guess a subwoofer with p-eq will be on the list.

Ditto ! Been way too much down time with one thing or the other.

Everything is where and what I've aimed, pained and worked hard for so now she's back up and running and sounding the best EVER!!! I intend on a very very prolonged period of simply tunes and system enjoyment, pleasure, indulgence......... :D

Same here, just music, system is sounding so fine these days, hard to want to do anything but listen. When I try to get up out of my chair, it kind of remains stuck to my bum. We have merged! Hah! Actually it is nice to not really want anything more at the moment.

Merry Christmas and New Years to you all!

Making up some RCA's when the connectors finally arrive for the Van Damme cable, and ripping off the paper and reopening the Box Stan Beresford sent me last week with a new SEG Dac, with the 15v Linear PSU arrived this morning, so plenty to play and listen to over the Christmas and New Year. Works well as I can avoid how much have you spent now ? by saying Santa brought it :D
