sebrof and loomis, too funny guys! and i agree. whenever an initial thread has me looking for more information, i first look for a reply by Al. his answers are most certainly all i need to know. incredible time saver as well.cheers to Al. 
What is your listening level?
my preference is peak spl's of about 85-90 db's. as Al points out....this would be an average and could vary based on the music itself.

i used J River until the most recent elyric update. previous elyric versions did not work well on my win7 set-up. the most recent update seemed to address most of the problems i was having.so yes...J River works if that's what you want to use i wa... 
How much would I benefit from an amp upgrade?
i agree regarding the krell s300i. can be found dirt cheap considering the power and HT features. had one for a while and enjoyed it. give one a try if you can. easy to flip used units if things don't work out.

no problem, just keep the files separate on your mac. when elyric asks to be directed to files you want imported....select the folder with the flac (or whatever you want played threw the pwd/bridge). the mp3 files in the other folder will not be i...

greed is the evil by-product of capitalism for *some* folks. i know many business owners who operate ethically to maximize profits. problem is...they are all small business owners. seems as the business grows...the *need* for more profits also gro...

Ben, you have a very valid point. The only way/reason the changes were obvious to many of us is due to the preparation we had to undertake to make any comparison at all. This was the first time I've ever "taken notes" and "studied" for an upgrade....

Srg...love it. Sounds fantastic. One step closer to having the band front and center. I noticed bigger improvements to the bridge but the PWT also sounds better. Zero fatigue, silky smooth with the most non- digital sound I've heard from digital. ...
