Here’s our coverage of the 2014 Iowa DIY Audio show held at the Main Hall on the Grinnell College campus.  50+ folks and approximately 30 designs were in attendance this year.  Informal listening sessions were also held on Friday and Saturday night at the Best Western Hotel where several more speaker designs, some sweet tube preamps, tube amps and several solid state amps were auditioned.  It was a great weekend with top notch DIY systems, super music and awesome folks.

Shout-out to Tom Hembry for this year’s t-shirt design:
