Hello everyone. 

I'm brand new to pi-based audio, but I do have some background with Linux and DIY audio.  My first Linux install was in the '90s using floppy discs and a distribution called "Slackware". Since then, I've used various other distributions, most recently Ubuntu. 

I have built a few amplifiers, etc, and I've had good success following Rod Elliot's designs (Elliot Sound Products) but my largest project has been to build the Linkwitz Phoenix speakers. These speakers use a three-way active crossover and equalizer which is necessary for their open-baffle dipole acoustic design. 

cheers
Doug

Hi, Doug, and welcome to the merry band of audiophiles who enjoy moOde.

I remember Slackware (and the SLS it was derived from) well. It was a nuisance getting diskettes for the early LInux distros and a godsend when Walnut Creek started providing distros on CDROMs.

I'm envious of your hardware projects (meaning the amps and speakers). I've long since given away my soldering iron.

Regards,
Kent
