diyaudioprojects.com is cool
diyaudioprojects.com looks pretty cool. You can download schematics and specs for building your own audio gear. There's an aussie designed 12AX7 pre-amp which even looks like I could put together. Hopefully, without sticking the soldering iron into my knee. Too deeply.
There's a small, but good collection of instructions for pre-amps, speaker enclosures and transistor based amps, and more.
On a similar note, I remember my father rebuilding a set of old studio monitor speakers (he used to work at a radio station) with a pair of generic drivers from Jaycar (a cheap electronics store here in Australia), and the sound was very nearly as good, if not as good as the original drivers. I think for a relatively small sum, replacing drivers in a good enclosure can be a great way to save money and get a great sound.
