| Going to rip 2000 cds. Which software? Hello Jzzmusician,updating my earlier advice to confirm that ghosthouse’s advice was very good. iTunes is an excellent all in one music library manager. It’s free, simple, and easily controlled by remote. Bitperfect, as an addon to Itunes, is an e... | |

| Do you think audiophiles are the most gullible hobbyists Schubert's comment made me think. Maybe not with equipment, but as I consider some of the music purchase choices I've made, I must confess there's some real turds in this music lover's "collection".Sophmore albums that follow a dynamite premiere a... | |
| Do you think audiophiles are the most gullible hobbyists Quite the opposite. Sure there are those who make buying decisions based upon smoke and mirrors but there are - at least it seems to me - more than the hobby's fair share of skeptics. Most are fair.

Some have a lot of sqare footage devoted to home theater yet hifi is given plenty of listening room. The turn up in searches. I am in rural Alabama and definitely feel... | |
| CD Burning Software I use XLD on my Mac. Free. Also provides conversion between formats. Fairly easy to use. Has a kind of barebones interface that has grown on me. | |
| FLAC vs WAV I am glad to read someone else has noticed this. In thinking about it I concluded that there are still a lot of variables between the formats. The codecs, cpu time, players, throughput.I have settled on AIFF for now but I hope to learn more by r... | |
| When is your Hifi good enough? Mapman,You make a good point that applies to me: Is it my system or is it the recording? In the future I will keep that in mind and will attempt to answer that question first before I do anything else.Something I never expected from this hobby has... | |
| When is your Hifi good enough? Yeah, it's good enough when all I can afford to do is to listen.There are moments during certain favorite albums/songs when my heart/head tells me, "There ain't no better than this." But then the next music starts to play and I start thinking, "Th... | |
| Grace m920 Massdrop PSA Thank you for reminding me what a great resource we have in MassDrop. Love that m920 too. | |
| Proportion of expenses As a start, I found "The Complete Guide To High End Audio" Fifth Edition by Robert Harley very helpful as an overall guide to your questions. It is available as an iBook on iTunes. I refer to it from time to time.It has a section devoted to cost a... | |
