The DVD writer, my friend.

As I told you, I think that you should not have MAJOR performance differences between both drives (and if the Plex is not supported by EAC, I would dump it inmediately), that is, unless you are running a factory of pirated CDs 

Look, I think the DVD writer is way more useful these days, meaning that it will do pretty much you want it to... and for a fraction of the Plextor's cost you could get a cheap CD burner with awesome C2 implementation and the ability to kill all audio CD copy-protections like the LiteOn 52x burner (PM me if you want the exact model number, as I don't have it right now, or better yet, do a search  )

So there you go, for what is worth.

thanks a lot for the info - its been real helpful. Where can I find a listing of the various drive offsets? and how important is it to use these when ripping?

Short answer: OFFSETS ARE NOT IMPORTANT

Long Answer

which version of EAC should I be using for encoding lots and lots of tunes?

Its been a long time since I last used EAC, and I see that there is now a prebeta???

The latest one
Exact Audio Copy 0.95 prebeta 3

It's got some features that the other older versions don't.
Don't let the "prebeta" part scare you.

could you post a profile or something... there are so many options!

I've looked at www.chrismyden.com and used a profile listed there under his "Elite DAE" could someone that knows about EAC take a look at it and see if its good?

I'm not sure if its made for the prebeta release? maybe there's new features disabled or something...

I dont know!

Thanks

I checked Chris' site and it seems to be kinda outdated.
PM me with your email adress and I send you what I use and I will help you set it up specially for your drive.
I encode to LAME -aps MP3, by the way (with the recommended compile, of course)
