Message: <blockquote data-quote="frankiebones" data-source="post: 2463363" data-attributes="member: 567452">if i hadnt gone away to college and done the things i did (thats all i will say until admitted to the bar in NY), I would have a pretty tight CD collection.so when i started with my system, i started to realize i wished i had taken better care of my CD's over the years.of course there are those CDs, like Aenema by TOOL, which u can buy 5 times, but most u wont rebuy them unless they were particularly good.today i went to a Tower Records in long island that is going out of business, and every CD was 70-90% off list price.  i got 20 CDs for just over 100 bucks.very few of those CDs were new to me, most were CDs i had owned (when i had just a simple stock system), or albums i currently have in mp3 format in 320 kbps.prior to today, i have bought 9 albums in the past 3 weeks.  after today, i will be buying a lot more.i hereby vow never to disgrace my system with an mp3 as its source material, unless, of course, when getting a CD format of the song isnt possible for whatever reason.after listening to these 20 albums in mp3 format for the past several months, and then suddenly having all of them upgraded to CD quality audio, i cant deal with that mickey mouse bullsh*t anymore.i am not sure what the response to this rather overtly-self-righteous thread i just started, but im telling you, after today my eyes are wide open.  i listened to at least parts of every CD i bought and when compared with mp3s, even those ripped at 320, its like driving a german sports car thats half-an-inch off the ground after driving aroud in a dune buggy for a couple months, except this dune buggy has no suspension to speak of, its tires are flat, and on its hood it has a detailed-painted-portrait of what might be the oldest ***** in the world!</blockquote>
