Hello from Tampa!


I love to tinker!
It started with an Eico amplifier kit back in the mid '60s and now I'm a repair technician at a sound and lighting production company.
I decided that I had to build a home theater after a short stint as an installer for a local audio visual company. I love movies and being able to watch them uninterupted in your home is where it's at.
I've built, bought, and repaired a bunch of equipment over the years and this is my present (always changing) HT set-up:
Sony 1272 crt projo (I have 3 more of these for backup parts)
Da-lite 100" motorized screen
Nec scan converter
B&K 5.1 Processor
BGW amps
Middle atlantic rack
JBL speaker system (old school with horns - like in a commercial theater)
Dvd, vcr, cable (no Fios yet) for sources.
And a table full of remotes ( I have a Pronto 2000 but I have trouble seeing the stupid, blue, dimly lit thing)
My latest tinkering is a dedicated PC for testing my sound system using the REW software. I think this is going to be fun!
I know I am going to have alot of questions and I hope I can answer some too.
Peace,
Dave

Re: Hello from Tampa!


Welcome to the Shack Tinker Dave!

I'm a former electronics repair technician myself. Its been awhile since those days of rummaging through stacks of Sams manuals.

Those were fun times! In the end I think I was better suited doing installs and teaching the new owners of a Home Theater system how it all works. My Universal Remote class was one I gave countless times, I beleive I have a decent tequnique to bring the layperson up to speed.
