| Best Place/Way To Sell My CD Collection? It seems that CD's are closer than ever to becoming obsolete; soon the day will come when they are no longer made. That is the day your CD colletion becomes valuable. Hold on to them or put them in the attic for your kids to discover. | |

| Help Me select Mini Drubin - So you're saying a new Mini sounds better than a 2007 version? Steve is saying the 2009 is best, so I don't think your challenging his expertise until you've said the new is better than 2009. I happen to agree with Steve. | |
| Best $1,500-ish New or Used Floorstander - Congrats on your RS-6. I've enjoyed this speaker in my home for a while and consider it very good. My best advice is to feed it tube amplification. My local dealer had it set up on his Ayon tube gear and I heard an absolutely stunning soundstage. ... | |

| File format, software and settings? I am a little dissappointed that there isn't really a definitive answer to the best way to rip CD's, as asked by the OP. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed reading the opinions posted so far, but it seems that we don't have a concensus on what is best.... | |
