| CD ripping Also if you do need other formats of existing lossless files you could look at using a batch conversion program to create the files in an alternate format. that would be much faster than re-ripping | |
| CD ripping No need to re-rip probably if the lossless variant of the format has been used and the format works for all your devices needed. | |
| CD ripping dbpoweramp can help guarantee 100% accurate rip if possible.Poor quality or dirty CDs will result in taking longer to rip but if accurate rip is on the results will be the same each time. It should not matter in the end for rip quality (as opposed... | |
| How did you choose your equipment? In recent years, I've done it very carefully after a lot of reading and listening, to try to put together the best sounding system I could with a reasonable budget.Having done that, moving forward I am more likely to just try different things wh... | |
| Greatest American Rock and Role Bands of ALL Time American Rock and roll?Gotta be Buddy Holly and the Crickets in every sense.Most American rock that followed may be "rock" but not "rock and roll". Rock and roll got old fast here. Then the British caught on and largely took over. Then basica... | |
| CD ripping M4A is lossy compression meaning some information used to create the music is lost in the interest of smaller file size.These may still sound fine or good enough but for best sound quality possible re-rip is needed to a lossless format.Compression... | |

| Any love for Jolida integrates? Jolida is on my list of tube integrateds I would seriously consider. They seem to provide a lot of value. | |
| Just how much do speakers suppose to vibrate? Yes of course it’s the speakers that are the source of vibration. That’s what dynamic speaker drivers do. Who said anything about seismic waves? Not me. Speaker interacts with floor and waves propagate through the floor. Anything in contact with t... | |
| Just how much do speakers suppose to vibrate? If the speakers are vibrating due to interaction with the floor, as is usually the case with suspended plywood floors found in most modern home upper levels, then its often a good idea to try to isolate the speakers from the floor better by using ... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? Many advancements since then have been pointed out. Whether one thinks those of significance or not is a matter of opinion. But the advancements themselves are not. |
