Audio DIYers that is! If so what have you built/modded? I’ve always been the tinkering/working with hands type and decided the DIY route would be fun/cheaper for a great set of speakers. Still haven’t decided on the exact set…there are some great kits around and I’m also entertaining building my own set from the ground up. But, in the meantime I built the Bottlehead Crack (sound to die for) and recently overhauled my Linn Ninka factory crossovers (amazing what quality parts will do to sound!).

I was in between two minds as to whether or not send in a pair of T50RPs to Argon to get them convert it or to try my hand at DIYing the headphones and start experimenting with what I can get out of them.
I’ve heard great things about the Argons but I also like tinkering.
Do it! Just don’t muck it up 
Yes, try your hand at it, just remember that your life depends on you succeeding with no roadblocks or errors throughout the process

I’m gonna be getting into DIYing soon (freetime still being mucked up by work) with the end goal of Building Bottlehead products.
There are some kits here that I’m looking at. I’m not at the level where I can buy partial kits and design the rest on my own but there are a few full kits that look interesting like the Nelson Pass stuff.
Pass diy stuff is great, you can get great amps without spending great amounts of money lol
I wanted to do an F6 clone but the kit is partial. Went on diyaudio to research it more and it looks out of my league. Well, I suppose I could spend a year properly educating myself in the realm of EE but I think I’d rather just buy a Schiit Aegir lol.

I DIY. Super fun stuff and there’s a plethora of communities out there. I’ve had to fix cables, I modded some Sonys with my dad, built a reamping box kit, replaced microphone capsules, and I really want to build a bookshelf speaker kit for fun.

I’ve spent the last 6 months doing a hardcore deep dive on speaker design. While I have zero functional knowledge at this point, I can point you to a TON of both theoretical and real world resources. So ping me if you want.
I’m currently designing 2 different speakers from scratch and hope to start building in the spring/summer.

they have nice cheap starter kits for low power headphone amps for less then 20$
good way to learn, if you mess it up its cheap
It’s a good idea lol, you don’t want to kill some nice components with stupid mistakes
