| Looking for a new phon cartridge Thanks everyone for all of the suggestions. I'm leaning toward an Ortofon Cadenza Bronze. | |
| Bogus Ratings for MOFI SACD's I always take reviews on company websites with a large grain of salt. Similarly, I don't put much stock in reviews on retail store websites that are selling the product under review. Better to look elsewhere. | |
| Sharing SACDs If you just share a CD (SACD), I think that is OK. But, if you rip it then give it to someone else or the person you gave it to rips it, I believe that is illegal. Just like you can't buy a CD, rip it, then sell it. | |
| Ripping CD's I use XLD for burning CD's (Verbatim) on a MacBook Pro. I am not sure if XLD is available for PC. It is free and has been very reliable over the years. For ripping, I use dbPoweramp, but XLD can also be used for ripping. | |

| CD Rip and Meta data - Can Roon do better than other services? I have found that Apple Music often finds metadata that dbPoweramp and XLD don't find. I'm not sure what their source is. If you have a Mac, a trick I use is to bring up Apple Music (iTunes) when I insert the disk to rip. Then bring up XLD and ... | |
| J. Sikora Initial turntable Thanks for the replies. I will likely forgo the Sikora. There just doesn't seem to be much known about it (other than the Stereophile review) and I am concerned about after market support.I will likely opt for the Dr. Feikert table and spring fo... |
