The primary engineering challenge in developing many of my projects, most notably Leoht Version 2, has been component modelling in CAD (computer-aided design). While Leoht Version 1 relied on hand-fabricated templates remodelled into CAD, this workflow lacked the dimensional precision required for tighter tolerances and prevented direct design iteration.

This is a pair of speakers built based on a kit from Hi-Fi Collective, the Speaker Kit No. 1.

A year ago I introduced Project Leoht, my take on an ultra-low mass turntable inspired by Rega Research. I learned a lot from that project and version 2.

My friend Michael Fidler was having a clearout, and offered a surplus pair of MarkAudio Alpair 10.3 drivers.

A pair of AR35BX were local to me and the price was right. They needed some work, with pealing vinyl, degraded driver foam surrounds and failing components in the crossovers.

More pens resulting from my latest hobby / obsession. It’s somewhat ironic that somebody who can’t write (not with a pen at least) has found so much enjoyment and satisfaction in making these.
