Hi everyone

I have just joined. Previously I looked in from time to time but already I am glad I did.

Both Graham and John have made me feel welcome already. And I can tell that I will be made welcome even when I ask obvious stuff.

I'm hoping to make changes to my systems which is always stressful. The first is to upgrade the solo and Graham has already given me his advice, which seems very straightforward. Once Christmas is over and the postman has had a rest.

But then I will be looking to do much more with the hard drive of vinyl rips I have gathered. 

I am a big fan of vinyl. But I am still learning about what I can mention on your site (other brands and things) so I will tread carefully before I leap.

Looking forward to learning lots and taking part where I can.

(Hoping this doesn't turn up in the wrong section of the forum)

Welcome to the forum Peter!

As there is no risk of any undue competition when it comes to turntables and cartridges they are both safe and fair game to discuss openly and endorse as you like I believe. It's when it comes to products that directly compete with Graham's own produce that there is a discouragement for natural reasons.

Anyhow, I hope you'll feel right at home here and choose to stick around. It really is a very nice corner of the world wide web and you learn new stuff all the time, even though a lot of the more technical things here go straight above my head I must confess. Smile

Thank you.

I understand that, I would not be looking to endorse anything in particular just pick up thoughts and what people find works.  

The things that particularly interest me are the best ways to avoid the (in my opinion) harsh sound of some digital which is just as annoying as the bad quality of some vinyl which drove me to CDs. But having latterly moved back to vinyl I realise how nasty some CDs are and how bad they sound. I am also finding vinyl is not universally wonderful with quite a few recent purchases being disappointing. 

I have some lovely vinyl (with a rejuvenated linn turntable) and some lovely vinyl rips on my Mac desktop prepared by friends and myself (but in a different room). And am trying to decide on the best way to enjoy them without turning my hifi into my computer and vice versa. I am not sure I buy into streaming, I tried it and wasn't totally convinced but I am in no hurry and it is getting better. I have burned lots of the vinyl rips into DVD audio discs which work very well (using a Marantz bluray/sacd/dvd-a player). They sound much better than any digital downloads, SACDs etc...to me.

The thing I look for most is how the sound makes me feel. Analogue seems to make me happier, my feet tap and I smile. 

But I am waffling.

Thank you for the welcome
Peter
