i2S clock question
@soix  and all, I’m so glad a clock question came up, because I’ve been a bit confused.  So, I have a Denifrips Pontus ll. If I add an Iris reclocker, I’m assuming it will sound better, but let’s say I buy a Venus ll DAC or a Terminator ll,  will... 
Tune of the Day
Manfred Mann, Don’t Kill It Carol  
Tune of the Day
Harry Chapin, 30,000 Pounds Of Bananas.  
Whats playing on your system today?
Listening to Billy Joel, Piano Man again.  There’s only one weak tune on the album. Weak, not bad.  
Ripping CD's to hard drive
@sd40  Exact Audio Copy does flac as well, but you have to get a plug in.  All my older “mono” rips are in flac.

Another vote for Exact Audio Copy. I’ve ripped 1650 disks so far.

AC/DC, Shoot To Thrill

Liquify, is a new to me Prog Rock band.  So far I’ve listened to their self titled release a well as Illusionary Reality and Lost In Time. I’ve enjoyed all three.

Need advice with clicking noise from my tube amp
Ain’t hifi fun?  I’ve never had any noise issues for fifty years and last year my new integrated amp started to buzz loudly.  Turns out my wife was using a space heater in the other end of the house. All the best.  
Power cord - 5 ft vs 10 ft ?
Like any electric circuit, you need a wire that can handle the load.  That’s why a 10’ - 14 gauge wire is fine for a streamer, it’s not for a 200 watt class A tube amp.  
Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older?
Today, in no particular order I listened to a Dvorak symphony, something by Chris Brubeck, Taylor Swift and David Chesky. Everything but the symphony was new music to me.  
Whats playing on your system today?
The Beatles, Abbey Road (the two cd edition)

Jazz for aficionados
David Chesky, Jazz Hip Hop.
