| Rip CD to Mac - basic question So, I installed XLD at the weekend (thanks to those who suggested it) and experimented with ripping a CD to different formats (aiff, wav, flac, alac). I like the way it gives a log for the rip, that in my case showed no errors. I also like the way... | |
| Rip CD to Mac - basic question Audioengr: "I am talking about listening comparisons. That's what matters isn't it?"Well, I was talking about file comparisons. Of course, at the end of the day the whole point is to listen to the files, not analyze them, but now we are in the sam... | |

| How many switches do you have to flip the play a CD? This is why I use a universal remote. But even without it, flipping a few switches isn't that much work. In some parts of the world people still have to chop wood and carry water.One thing that bothers me with DVD and Blu-ray is how long it someti... | |
| Rip CD to Mac - basic question Rlwainwright: "I may have posted incorect info., sorry. I did not know that AIFF was lossless. I *still* would not box myself in with Apple-specific solutions..."I knew aiff is lossless - I didn't realize it's Apple specific. We live and learn. Th... | |
| Rip CD to Mac - basic question Audioengr: "do a comparison of an iTunes ripped file and the same XLD ripped file."Right, it should be possible to do a comparison of files. I'd be interested to see the results if someone has done it. Maybe I will do it myself if I can figure out... | |
| Best wall mountable center channel speaker? Yeah the LCR-4 is still pretty big and heavy. That's why I went with the Unifield center. It is the same size and weight as a single Unifield 1 speaker. You might want to take a closer look at that. I can give more details or you could e-mail them... | |
| Best wall mountable center channel speaker? Have you looked at the other Von Scweikert centers: LCR-4 and the Unifield center? I have the latter on top of my cabinet under the TV, with VR-33s for main speakers, and it matches well. It is like a Unifield 1 on its side - same size and weight ... | |
| Can I connect DAC directly to amp? This thread gave me the idea of trying to connect my computer/DAC directly to my power amp and use the volume control in Amarra. It worked and sounded great. I don't see why doing volume control in the digital domain should degrade sound if it's d... | |

| Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's I wouldn't call them forgotten (maybe not so well known in the US), but I have to mention Hawkwind. Space Ritual is the ultimate heavy psychedelic album. | |

| Best Live Recordings:Performance and recording Live at Leeds is a great performance, but I don't think it was ever a great recording.I have the MFSL CD of Live at the Regal and it sounds pretty good, especially for the time (1964?)Check out Van Morrison "It's Too Late to Stop Now" - great perf... |
