Hi,

Hit in the face by the Brennan JB7 ad in Radio Times, I would like advice
about electronic CD storage. I play CDs via a Cambridge Audio D500 player, a
NAD C326 BEE amp and Monitor Audio Silver RX6 speakers, and listen mainly to
classical music. The amp is also fed from a Sony Bravia TV, and I have a
Dell PC hooked up to work via the TV (including sound) by a non-VGA link
(HDMI?).



I do find playing my CDs inhibited by the labour of getting them out of a
cupboard etc etc and am starting to think about storage, either on the
computer or on an external device such as the JB7.



I would be grateful for advice:

1.. Does such storage result in significant loss of audio quality?
2.. I have ripped CDs for my MP3 player using the built-in Windows program
but are there better rippers available?
3.. Are there alternatives to the JB7 that have advantages?
4.. Any other advice/comments?


Many thanks,



Gordon
