My DIY Obsession

I am unable to conquer my diy electronics obsession! Studio tools have made me broke many times over, spontaneous craigslist and ebay buys are or were frequent. My resolution, turn to diy audio electronics. Cheaper, slower, learn more. Uhhh, well, unfortunately diy has just as tight a hold on my finances as buying name brand stuff. Most recently I ordered a Neve 33609 build from a guy on the prodigy-pro forum Yikes! after the conversion it ended up being $450 Canadian for the PCB set and very handsome silk screened case. Definitely not complaining, it just took me by surprise how quickly €200 ramped up to the Canadian equivalent.
