Best Sounding new releases 2015
On a more popular note, FLAC version of Brian Wilson's new No Pier Pressure album is superb sonically, musically, vocally and emotionally. Will put some sunshine in your day.Neal 
"Audiophile" fuses. A comparison.
Agree with Hifial on the SR Red fuses. Replaced HiFi Supreme top of the line fuses with the reds and there was an audible improvement. They actually work.Neal 
ARC REF 5SE, CJ GAT or ?
BTW, I use the VTL 7.5 iii with a Krell FPB 300cx, so if you were wondering about compatibility with Krell, there it is.Neal 
ARC REF 5SE, CJ GAT or ?
I looked into both of these to replace my Wyetech Opal, and chose the VTL 7.5 Mk iii. Astonishing neutrality, imaging and soundstanging; great remote; and exceptional flexibility (RCA and XLR, among many other features). If you find one used (and ... 
Why so many PS Audio DirectStreams for sale?
Mountainsong,I upgraded from PWD II to DS and there is simply no comparison, especially with the 1.2.1 software. (Have not tried Pike's Peak "upgrade" yet.) It is like moving from a Honda Accord to a Porsche 911. Just do it if you can afford to.Neal 
Db Power Amp - is there a better ripper out there?
My solution ($29 for uop tp 5 computers if you own a previous version) was to upgrade to the current version of dbPoweramp, and the problem disappeared. Now the size of the files ripped shows up in Properties and all works well.Who knows what the ... 
Best of XLR cable?
Thanks, Audiolabyrinth,I have read your post about the Krell amp upgrade, and in fact have discussed with Patrick at Krell. I live about 45 mins from Krell, and intend to do upgrade if it ever stops snowing and I can get my sons to carry the amp o... 
Best of XLR cable?
I have a pair odf HiDiamond Diamond 3 XLR's burning in from my VTL 7.5iii preamp to Krell FPB 300cx amp, which only accepts XLR. These simply are superb, both physically and audibly. replaced JPS Aluminata, itself a terrific cable, but the HD is a... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
jbnachman,FWIW, I have been luistening to digital music since the Magnavox CDB 650 (the first 16 bit machine) in the mid-'80's, and have been through countless DAC's. The PSA DSD is a dream machine once it burnms in, which does take a long time. Y...

Mapman and Zd542,Thank you for your assistance. I have tried every suggestion you made and nothing helped. There are no errors shown when I rip. I tried ripping to FLAC, no relp. I tried different destinations. No help. I tunes was off. No help. I... 
Db Power Amp - is there a better ripper out there?
Mapman,No, because when I rip with iTunes it works fine and is where it should be.Zd542, I tried that but it did not work. I will try it again and see what happens.Thanks for your help.Neal 
Db Power Amp - is there a better ripper out there?
I am having a problem with dbPowerramp, after using it for years. I am ripping CD's, they show up in the correct folder (iTunes), but there is nothing on them -- 0 bytes!All the disc info shows up (artist, album, songs, etc.), I see it ripping and... 
Customer Service
PS Audio. Had problem with PWD Dac II (which may have been fault of IC) but they were as responsive, pleasant and accommodating as one could wish for. They were so nice I upgraded to DSD and have been happier ever since. Kudos.Neal
