Thanks for the tips. It's been a long time since I've built a kit, so I'll be proceeding very deliberately. It's all about the journey, not the destination. Also, it seems like my best listening times, lately, are after the wife is in bed, so sound levels have already been low, for the most part, though, there are still those occasions when I really want to hear the rumble of the bass pedals on a pipe organ, Jimi Hendrix wailing like mad, or some crazed academic percussion album from the '60s... 😂 All the best, and Happy New Year to all.
