XLD is a must for accurate Mac rips
itunes was set to rip to AIFF with error correction on. XLD is also ripping to AIFF. As far as I can recall the only setting I changed was to have cds ripped upon insertion. Set to rip and eject when complete. While cds are ripping there is a prog... 
Are there any albums you consider perfect?
OK Synthfreek, just ordered Agnes Obel. 
What is "low ball"
If you offer less than the selling price and don't get a reply, take the hint.Polk432Hell, I've offered asking price and not received an answer more than once.I was called a lowballer by a seller once. My offer was asking price but stipulated sell... 
XLD is a must for accurate Mac rips
Bugman03, here's where I downloaded XLD.John, this is the only track I've done a critical comparison with so far. Probably wouldn't have done it except I noticed something seemed wrong. It wasn't anything in the tone, timbre or any other sonic cha...

Can Anyone Recommend a Good Speaker ?

Sony XA5400ES fuse directionality...
I thank those who stuck to the idea of this post and actually offered some helpful advice. Bigshutterbug Really? Which ones were those? You do have a well thought out system though. So if swapping fuses turns you on, enjoy. 
Does anyone here own a Jolida 202/302/502 amp
Glad to hear things are improved. I should have noted my experience with the Jolida took place in August. Walking into a hot room to listen was a major turn off for me and could have affected my opinion. 
Does anyone here own a Jolida 202/302/502 amp
I briefly owned the 202A. It seemed very lifeless to me and was gone in two weeks. 
Sony XA5400ES fuse directionality...
Oh Boy!Rrog Dang Rrog, you beat me to it. Although my thought was, oh brother.So now I'll make a suggestion. Try the fuse one way for a week, listening critically of course for the differences/improvements the fuse makes. Then switch the fuse arou... 
Analog is the new pink
Timrhu, perhaps I'm not "getting" you but, if you're serious, I wholeheartedly disagree with your comment about analog playback merely being "cool" rather than actually sounding better.LindisfarneMy post is not about which medium sounds better, it... 
Analog is the new pink
It's hip to listen to vinyl. The attraction is only the "coolness" factor. It has nothing at all to do with sound quality or even music. If you don't understand this either you don't remember being cool, you never were cool or you don't have kids ...
