| Ripping 700 CD's to HD using FLAC-How much space? Chris74,I have a large collection of FLAC, which I keep on DVD+RW disks. You can make use of my statistics: I have currently 1146 albums and they are stored on 93 DVD+RW disks. It means that 1 DVD disk contains on average 12,3 albums. One DVD disk... | |
| Ripping 700 CD's to HD using FLAC-How much space? Blindjim, you wrote: "Another thought here is, FLAC allows you to select the bit rate...". It seems to me you are mistaken. You cannot choose the bit rate, but you can choose the level of compression. Also, there is no such thing as "the usual def... | |

| Will getting a DAC converter improve mp3 playback Acura1947,If you listen to mp3, an external DAC or Blue Circle USB thingy will be an absolute overkill and a waste of money! Such things are for lossless formats, not for compressed one. On the other hand, if you have no access to lossless files (... | |

| US only sales WHY??? "Asking a seller to undervalue their product on the invoice exposes them to a potential loss in the event of shipping damage as shipping companies generally will not payoff more than the items declared value." - Why will a seller need a payoff? No... | |
| Mark Knophler; recommended music?? All you guys who love Mark Knopfler, check out Tony Joe White! I listened to his album 2006 "Uncovered" and it's so good! By the way this album features Mark Knopfler himself and J.J.Cale on some tracks. | |
| US only sales WHY??? During the last 1,5 years, I have bought about 8-10 expensive items (from $200 to $1000) from Audiogon, Head-Fi, eBay. I live in Russia and I've never had a problem receiving stuff from U.S, Australia, South Korea, Canada. I contact the buyer, ask... | |

| DAC, amp & headphones 1k I have Denon AH-2000, my friend has Senn HD650. We compared these headphones in the same system. The conclusion is that Denon D2000's famous bass cannot be beaten by Senn HD650. But, on the other side, Senn HD650's famous midrange cannot be beaten... | |
