Default Post Pics of your audio DIY [56k warning!!]
Thought it would be nice to have a do-it-yourself thread to post our makings. Not sure if there anything on this subject yet but post basically everything audio related

Today I made desktop speaker stands. Tweeter now at ear level







Thoughts?

aw those are cute.

the best threads are ones where someone has built something. rep+



so do they resonate at all? maybe use a little modeling clay in between where the speakers contact the stands.

I like the idea of a DIY audio forum for members to show off their DIY gear. I know there's enough people here who have made at least something worth showing off!

I'll add a few (of several) items that already have photos uploaded.

To keep with the original theme: speaker outriggers for my ELT525T's








And a Millet Hybrid amp I built for another forum member with pre-out and pretty much maxed out with Blackgates, push button power switch, pure silver wire in the signal path, OptiVol... etc.





A pair of Millet Hybrid Max boards being populated:



And another Max:





An equipment rack I made:






And that's all for now

Soloz fantastic looking amps. Did the enclosure come with the kit? Do you make amps for order or was it made for your friend as an exception? Nice work man

Thanks for your comment. I used some kind of pads that are usually used for chairs so the chair doesn't make marks on the floor. Also under the speaker there is 5mm of rubber. Thanks for comments everyone!
