[QUOTE="Qwerty, post: 667088, member: 558490"] To simplify my thoughts: It is much more worthwhile to use original CD-quality audio over even the best-encoded compressed audio (high-bitrate og, mp3, and wma files) than to use a $1500 amp over a $200 amp. The nuances associated with different amplifiers are MUCH less apparent than those with CDs and compressed audio. I did not mean to say that all compressed audio is worthless and serves no purpose. But, an audio system owner should consider using uncompressed music over before upgrading amplifiers for the purpose of improving sound quality and revealing nuances in music. [/QUOTE]
