One can not actually defend one's self against hatred and ridicule.
That is why it is the weapon cowards choose when they want to discount the cost of their exhilaration.

Mike, if you listened to just half of the words you use you'd be fine.

I thought this was an excellent and interesting opinion piece in the Hardware Forum just recently. It seemed well-written by somebody with a sensible workman like outlook. http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=2768289 The stuff found in there tends to be a bit more matter of fact on the subject in hand rather than about bringing attention to the original poster. I found it refreshing to read.

I finally got confirmation that he PSU case is shipping. I've been waiting to order the 7 pin connectors until I knew that I had a case with matching holes in it. So, I just made the time to order the connectors:   and now I have to get some cable. I'm still working through the math and layout on the power supply RC filtering. It seems like the mic head amps are designed around very tight tolerance B+ supply and my experience with guitar amps has never required such small tolerance. Learning slowly so there is no big rush for the cable. best regards, mike

well as far as DIYing there was the Heathkit © approach and the true build from scratch.
Google Heathkit, but they produced Ham and electronic equipment in kit form, chassis already punched and silkscreened, circuit boards etched, and components packed in bags. The instructions were step by step with pictorials for every step, and it was one wire one component at a time.
Now, contrast that with forming your own enclosure or chassis on a brake, marking and drilling holes with a drill press, masking and etching a circuit board, going down to the Lafayette radio electronics (or similiar) parts house for your components, OR a swap fest for parts. You got the schematic or circuit diagram from Pop Electronics, or Electronics Illustrated,or a Ham journal.No step by step, you read a schematic and knew enough theory to wire everything correct wit hthe proper lead lenght and routing.
I have done both, and both were rewarding, one looked commercial, one had a def home brew appearance.
Not saying what Mike is doing isnt DIY, but DIY is a vast camp.. just saying

We once build a Heathdrift (as we called it) computer. Used state-of-the-art 8" floppys too (I think they held something like 64K of information - WOW!).
Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW!

DIY even covers a greater scope than you've put there...  There's nothing quite like the full 'hands-on' experience.

You're right JB, that's always the back up plan.
