| EAC ripped files question What command line? Use EAC or another quality ripper. | |
| Zerostat: Old is Gold? Agree with @lewm . Maybe one of the mags will do a review. I've used red ones, blue ones, old and new. Seem the same to me. Am I offending you @gromitinwa? That's life. | |
| Radio personalities I listened to Robert J on GBH for many years. Not because I was into classical, just because there was nobody else like him.And when I lived in NYC, Pete F. of course, who passed just a few years ago. His Sat. PM show still lives on. | |
| RCA Shorting Plugs I just ordered a bunch of shorting plugs on eBay. What about for the unused spdif, XLR and USB ports, is there a need to treat these as well and are solutions available? | |

| Tube preamp recommendations $3K-$7K range Later model Audio Research. If you want a pre that’s got the tube magic but is not too tubey sounding, these are great. It’s what I buy as well. | |
| Lowering the noise floor " RCA is cheap crap."LOL | |
| Added value of separate server? Tremendous difference between a laptop and a purpose-built music server. Those who say no just don't know. My server beats any laptop, the differences are undeniable and obvious.Be sure to check the Stereophile review of the Aurender. Middling at ... |
