Happy Christmas everybody. I am new to this forum game and more used to writing to a letters column. This instantly gives a clue to both my age and faltering grip on technology.
I have a CD based Hifi system (approx 500 CDs): - a Marantz CD player, Marantz amplifier and a pair of Rogers speakers. All I want to do is be able to store all my music digitally with minimum loss of sound quality and be able to play it back through my system with the added luxury of playback into another room and headphones wirelessly.
The biggest problem that I have is that everyone I ask has a different answer and I now steer clear of the hifi sections of shops because all they do is tell me what components I need in an alien electronic language and never take the time to explain how things work or how they will link with my system. It is always the hard sell.
I read hifi magazines and trawl through internet forums in search of a simple answer, which I am sure is out there somewhere. In the meantime I have made no progress because the whole process is very daunting and like walking through mud.
There are those who are technically minded and their speak is well understood by certain sections of the readership. As far as I am concerned I might as well listen to a party political broadcast.
Long ago hifi magazines would publish diagrams showing how components linked together together with detailed instruction on how to get the best out of the system. All I find now is a raft of equipment reviews and technospeak which gets me nowhere.
Can you help me please? I have CD related repetetive strain injury (RSI) so this is urgent.
Have a good New Year
