I'm a Bottlehead pre-newbie. Have a Stereomour on the way and this will be my first build.
Some years back had a friend's Paramours driving my Klipshorns and the sound was wonderful. Have LaScalas only now, but know the sound will be primo. Looking forward to the build.
I'm a bit apprehensive about the build having never done any soldering to speak of, but am practicing a bit here and there. Have been reading the forum and observe tremendous support for builders troubleshooting their projects. Mostly I find myself lost understanding the answers and even the problems posted. Think the way will be found, picking up on info here and there. There is a huge knowlege base to draw from which is carried and shared by the forum members, builders and Bottlehead staff alike. This is a very cool and powerful thing. Internet communities like this are quite rare.
One thing, it will be a while before getting going on the build. Preparing for one daughter's wedding and another daughter's baby to be born in the next several weeks. Also have some honey-do tasks that are must finish before I'll have access to the dining room table for work. However that will allow for small blocks of time to practice soldering, studying the assembly manual and finishing the wood base and amplifier plate.
Best.
