Greetings from Wellington NZ. Took me a while because I used to be on Stereonet NZ before it folded into here.
I have been building homebrew tube gear since 2016. At home evefrything in my signal chain after the DAC is homebrew and I like it that way! I love that with tubes you can do a lot with not many watts.
Anyone got tube questions, shoot them my way.
Cheers
