[QUOTE="dwynne, post: 3165136, member: 578175"] "Redbook" is just a standard audio CD - either store bought or a compilation or copy you burned yourself. Limited to 78 minutes of audio (if you follow the standard) of 2 channels sampled at 44.1khz. If you rip your own CDs and use a very high bit rate and VBR you can get to "pretty near" CD quality sound with MP3s and fit maybe 5-7 "albums" on one MP3 disc. Stuff you download or ripped at 128k or something will not sound as good. The good news about a SQ system: great recordings will sound superb! The bad news about a SQ system: crummy recordings will really sound like crap-o-la. Any flaws in the recording itself (i.e. "oldies") and/or the compression will show up big time and ruin the experience. When I ran my Acoustat electrostatic speakers with an Audio Research amp at home they could blow you away with a quality recording - or make you want to plug your ears on "mixed for radio" junk. "Very revealing" is a double-edged sword [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif[/IMG] . Dennis [/QUOTE]
