Hi all. The board keeps asking me to say hello in your "introductions forum." Never could find that, so I'll do it here.

I stumbled onto this site mainly because I'm looking to digitize my vinyl LPs. Didn't take long to learn on the web that my laptop has a crappy sound card... You know the rest. Never as simple as it seems at first rush of enthusiasm.

I am floored by all the good info here, so much so that I've been speechless until now (and probably will be again while I look around). An astounding amount of info here.

About me:
receiver: Sony STR-DE985
DVD/VCR/CD: Sony SLV-D100
rem.: Sony RM-AV3000
front: KLH PR-950S (15" reflex)
cen: Sony SS-CN495H
sub: Sony SA-WM40
surr: KLH 45

Yeah, not great; certainly not geared toward the autiophile!
Biggest problem, I think, is my main speakers. May upgrade those when I get a new turntable (old tt buried under a pile of junk in the shed -- don't remember brand name). I always loved acoustic suspension spkrs for the tight bass; those fronts I have are boomy -- horrible.

Since the board wouldn't accept any profile info past where I refused to give my surname, I'll say here that I've been 'into' audio off & on for almost 40 years -- since I was 17 or so.

Anyhow, glad I found this site; keep up the good work! This is a great place to get lost lurking!
