| Alesis ML-9600 to archive my LP's in HI-RES CD24 The Alesis is a nice machine, but it's nothing special. If you used it for archiving at 24/96 you'll be stuck with using Alesis' proprietary format. In it's favor the Masterlink is relatively cheap (street price as low as $700), it's a one box sol... | |

| Redbook: only 1/4 of the master tape??? The 1/4 of master tape stuff is nonsense. I do agree with you that information is lost at every transfer stage. It just isn't a 4 to 1 reduction. You're also misusing the term compression. | |

| If Thiel, Wilson, Sonus, made active speakers????? A high quality solid state power amplifier is probably the easiest high fidelity component to design. It's a very well worn path. Active speakers are a marvelous engineering concept, but the market reality is that audiophiles are resistant. Regard... | |

| Audiophile USB to PCM There are various firewire based interfaces (Metric Halo, M-Audio and others), but I don't have direct experience with them. They tend to be geared to professional multi channel use. I've also seen PMCIA based interfaces.Doesn't the dCS have a fir... | |
| Three Artists: One CD Completely avoiding your question, if this is how you enjoy listening to music you should move towards a hard drive jukebox type system with customized playlists. | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM Edesilva, I have two computer based systems. One uses the RME with the AES/EBU balanced digital out and the other an M-Audio Sonica with an optical out. The RME sounds better. The RME also betters the built in optical output on the Apple G5. It's ... | |
