Turntable recommendation

File format, software and settings?
If the cd is in accurate rip it will show at the bottom of the rip display window and there will be a number that shows how many times it has been submitted. Try burning a well known title and I am sure you will get a reading like "CD in Accurate ...

I try to keep a component at least four to six months. Many components can take up to 600 hours to break in and settle. (ie: Audio Research SD 135 Stereo Amplifier) After break-in I usually will take another three or four weeks to put it through i...

REFERENCE 3A DULCET REVIEW

Odd Revel Performa M20 Question ?
