All about electronic valves and hi-fi

Here is a great post by Rui Lourenço who finished a sublime incarnation of the 26 DHT preamp Gen2.

I’ve started my interest in diy audio about 2 decades ago, basically at that time because I had no means of buying some of the fantastic equipment’s I saw in several Audio Shows, also because the bug was there, and some of my friends were doing it. Today, fortunately I have the means, but the bug was kept and personally I believe that good implemented diy projects can most of the times be several notches above commercial products, or otherwise you would have to spend some important thousands of Euros to acquire them at a similar performance level. You all agree that the personal filling of achievement vs your friends drop jaws when looking to some of the wonderful projects we find everywhere, is also very good.
