Wow - that's some seriously trashed vinyl!

cliveb - did you do a DBT of your transporter or ATC100s before buying
them? I am intrigued to know how you did it, especially in the case of
the speakers.

You can add track replay gain and album replay gain tags easily with
various tools, including foobar2000 and Robin Bowes' apply_replaygain.pl

dBpoweramp is great for adding track and album gain tags at rip time,

I know that replaygain is a secondary control mechanism. However, it
seems smartgain in the squeezeboxes can not dynamically
correct/address very significant differences between tracks (and I think
in a large library one will easily enocunter a 10dB range these days).

Erm... no, I don't. Usually it requires an after-market mod to add a
clock out to a DAC. However I'm sure there MUST be some out there.
