I can go downstairs to my den and plug my iPod into my 7.1 surround sound system with my SVS subwoofer or I can plug my iPod into my new iFi system in my living room and be just as happy with the sound. That's how good the sound is. All for $149 plus tax. Worth EVERY penny.

So ya think the iFi system is worth $149????????? I'm going back for a second one. Someone in the family will get it as a gift.

I think I am going to go with 224 kbits.

I just found that coupon in a flyer they hand out when you leave. I hope I can get the price adjustment next Monday.

Andy, What I meant was when I ripped an album at CD Quality using Easy CD-DA Extractor software the total space was 54 megs on the hard drive. When I ripped it at 320 kbits it took up 90 megs of space. So it's almost twice the space which means I wont be able to hold all my songs on my iPod if I rip them all at 320. So I don't want to re rip over 8000 songs at 320 kbits if I won't even notice the difference using my iPod with the iFi system.

I have all of my songs ripped at 128 but now that I am using the iFi system I can hear the difference between my iPod and my cd's. I have a 40 gig iPod and I am wondering what kbit I should rip my cd's at? At 128 an album is about 36 megs At Cd Quality it's about 54 megs At 320 it's about 90 megs I have the space to re rip many of the songs to a higher bit rate but at what point is the point of no return as far as space vs improved sound?

I just bought the ifi system today and all I can say is WOW. It was a simple 10 minute setup and I am really impressed. It's in my excercise room and it really cranks. The wife was downstairs watching a movie on the 7.1 surround sound with my SVSubwoofer and she came up to see what was making the ceiling shake. Worth every penny of the $199. What page was that coupon on? I did not see it in the book they gave out at the Costco I went to. Will they do a price adjustment if I find the coupon?
