Got fooled already by the dark blue message box, just could not see it.

Hello all. Thanks for starting this forum though I don't know how much I can contribute. I joined a few days ago but needed a weekend to sort myself out.

I use a turntable for mainly the pasts collection though I have been buying new and SH up to a couple of years ago. It isn't the love of my life as I can see it is for some members here. CD player and last year bought a DAC with which I use the CD Player as transport plus my MacBook with downloaded mainly FLAC files. Not got any plans to rip everything to disc as yet, maybe when I have more time on my hands.

The idea of being a neutral on the dreaded tribes of objectivist/subjectivists really appeals as my observation is that those who espouse either ethos as theirs are far from open minded. Before I encountered HiFi forums the notion of either camp did not figure in my thinking and I would prefer it remained that way.

Recently I have been exploring HiRes music and currently trying to discover if there is one Music player that offers better rendering of music than VLC my current adopted solution for playing FLACs.

I'll probably post to one thread then slowly fade away.

Thanks again for starting a forum without much agenda or rules
