This is my first post on this forum, so please be gentle...but firm. I look forward to contributing & learning as much as possible about the DIY audio community.
There is a vast store of knowledge available in old posts... helpful hint: you can avoid asking silly questions if you will wade through a few with the search function.
Just by being here, you have started down that path. Only problem is when you get there, you'll find no one like audiophiles, not even other audiophiles. They're snobs.
