And that's the limit of iTunes. The error correction in EAC and dbpoweramp are far superior. And in my limited experience with Xact it is as well. Also being able to check and match CRC with EAC, Xact and dbpoweramp means you're getting a perfect copy. iTunes works fine for scratch free CDs. But for scratched discs and early pressed discs from West Germany (where the data layer is often very thin) the other programs work much better.

That's a neat looking device with some great features. You can basically do all of that with any computer drive, but it looks like that automates everything to be quicker. dbpoweramp with AccurateRip can be fast and secure because it checks the CRC for each track in the AccurateRip database to make sure they match. If it matches it continues in "burst" mode.

It's not that unusual to have $20k amps and not pay any attention to setup. The setup will still look impressive to guests...

And a sofa blocking the right front speaker. And the rear channels placed very high (from what it looks like).

EAC or dBPoweramp with AccurateRip will be more accurate than iTunes for discs that aren't in pristine condition. If you have a Mac xact is the ripping program of choice. And moved thread to the computer forum.

Same guy responsible for this I think I got scammed by a fellow 1000+ headfi'er... - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

dew want to hear!!

Wait, it wasn't an AX7e you made the offer on, I thought that was an Ayre power amp? Fuck I'm a mega asshole if it was

The AX-7e is another great integrated. I only heard it with one pair of speakers though.

Pixies - Surfer Rosa mfsl vinyl

QNAP and Thecus, either make high quality NAS units. WD and Seagate should be about equal with failure rate. And I think they both offer the same warranty now. WD Green drives use less power.

Moved CES discussion to its own thread.

Thelonious Monk - In Action (Fantasy 45 rpm vinyl)

Audiophiles love them some Pictures at an Exhibition and Also Sprach heh

Jethro Tull - Aqualung DCC vinyl

Which protractor and which settings were off?

Doesn't any HDCD DAC basically ensure it's bit perfect by decoding HDCD discs?

If you're using a tube amp is it tube microphonics by any chance?

The Omega eats the Jade. I got Mike to admit it when he we were drunk.

God damn the Willie Dixon album will move you

Willie Dixon, Memphis Slim - Willie's Blues (Fantasy 45 rpm vinyl)

I can't...stop...looking at it

Spot on. I have a bank account linked to Paypal, but as soon as any money gets transferred to it, it immediately goes into my primary checking account. I never have more than a few bucks in the Paypal bank account. I'll also never use a cash balance to buy anything. It always comes from either Discover or AMEX, both have backed me up in the past when Paypal weren't doing anything.

Congrats Haj!
