Hi. Just registered and was strongly hinted that I introduce myself.

Musical tastes all over the map, from country through blues to the dead and alt-rock-country/americana whatever you want to call it.

Just finished putting a music server up, so I can now dump the POC Sony CD player. HP Pavillion acting as a full WAV server, the signal goes out digitally to my Adcom DAC, it sounds better than the CD player, and with 800 CDs, it's way more convenient. Music fidelity is important to me but I'm not a vinyl/tube/monster cable kind of guy. Ok, I bought some monster cables.

Anyway, I'm hoping that I can learn here without getting gear lust. My fear is I'll learn about all kinds of equipment that'll put an itch on my wallet finger.
