Hey everyone. I am ripping my records to 24/96 files and saving them as .aif files. Sadly, there is no meta data with the files, so I have to manually select them from Windows Media Player. I would appreciate hearing from other people who are doing this sort of thing. Please tell me what file type you are using and what player to organize your library. That sort of thing.

Thanks!

Keep it civil people.

Michael wonders why the choice between the standard wide -bandwidth RIAA or the 1976 IEC curve which rolls of the response below 50 Hz and is (only ?) useful for rumbly turntables.

I was moving in the direction of B&W 703 - and suddenly screeched to a halt! Reexamining my choices:
B&W 703 (not finding a suitable and highly recommended Center match so far)
JM Lab 926 or 936 (there a couple)
Dynaudio S3.4
Dali Halicon 400 (C200 for center)
Paradigm S6 or Studio 100

I'm glad to see Sam is back. I'm sorry to see he drank the Cool-Aid.

Now that Stereophile has published a current review of the Krell 505 SACD player, it would be very useful to potential buyers if a comparison is included with the upcoming review of the Cary 306 SACD Pro.

Holy Moly, this guy must be talking to some really uninformed buyers, who else would take this BS as for real? http://video.psaudio.com/videos/dnq.php

In the case of the Sooloos review, it would seem that JI was aware of JA

I have to admit to thinking that "bits is bits."

Trouble is, I only believe it when they are standing still.

It's when ya try to move those pesky bits from one place to another and get them all to arrive together in real time that the trouble starts.

I also believe the first watt is the most important one and that preamps are more crucial to the signal than amplifiers.

What aphorisms do you stand behind?
