I'm Greg.
Aye also as long as it's numpty founded (especially important for me with my very low ignorance status) and accommodates PC users. Many of us don't use a Mac.
I'd love something as Chris has already suggested.
I´d love to read a sticky for morons like me on how I might improve the results I am getting. Please don´t try and teach me - I can fish but I still prefer to go to the fishmonger´s when I´m hungry - just tell me what/how to do it in monosyllabic language and I´ll love you to bits.
KISS (Keep it simple stupid) and yes, just tell us what to do. Please don't explore what we might like to try or offer alternatives. We can always do that sort of thing later as confidence and experience grows. There are alot of audiophile Luddites out here. Please be empathetic and treat us gently, otherwise for me, I'll remain with my vinyl which might not be a bad thing but it doesn't allow me to develop my understanding of the potentials and doesn't allow me to progress/remain up to date.
Bring it on!
