...using a 6 month old iMac with USB Superdrive / iTunes to Apple Lossless. I don't have a different drive but will try different software.

I suppose heavy distortion would be my best description? Error correction is ticked.

Hi Has anyone else ever encountered a problem with ripping CDs in iTunes on a mac with the first track of a disc only....I've had it happen a couple of times now (both discs of The Name of This Band is Talking Heads and Ornette Coleman's Shape of Jazz to Come) - anyone have a solution???

...thinking of buying a pair of these for my iMac. Probably a stupid question but presumably these plug into my Dragonfly and I'm good to go? Had been considering B&W MM1's but baulking a bit at the £400 price tag. Theoretically my budget was £250 but I should be able stretch to £300 for the...

Essentially clearing out and starting again, total budget £1500 for new cd player, amplifier, speakers (preferably floorstanding and equipment rack), to go with a project debut turntable and sonos connect. Think I've pretty much decided on the marantz CD6004 / PM6004 for the CD player and amp...

...after a few too many years moving house a few too many times I've finally got my turntable out of storage. It's a roughtly ten year old Project Debut. This was my first "proper" turntable - don't really know that much about turntables in general - but I was thinking that I should probably...

...managed to get a demo on the YSP-600. The sound was obviously an improvement over my current set up but I wasn't feeling any surround effect. Maybe it suffered in comparison to the -30D which I was impressed by BUT can't afford. Would I be better forgetting the surround sound aspect and...

I tested a YSP-30D today - I was impressed but I can't afford it. I can stretch to the price of the -600 or -900 (neither of which where in stock in the shop I visited)...any thoughts on which one I should go for?

My two main sources for listening to music are my Teac Amp and CD player in my lounge and on my pc in my study. Unfortunately, about the only chance I get to listen to music these days is when eating in the dining room! My current solution is to crank up the CD player but, obviously, that's not...
