RE: Lower Lower Price on DDAR

[Paul Miller <pmiller@xxxxxxx>]

Hmmm, I suppose it comes down to, what level of quality each individual
requires, I am happy enough with MP3s going through a =A3500 AV amp, I
believe from the amount of conversations on the list that a fair number
of subscribers use MP3s. very few people have the kit and the ears but
there may be some interest (I suspect minor) in someone's else's view on
the quality they perceive MP3s.

Purely out of Academic interest. I've got the kit and the ears to tell.
I
thought you guys would be interested. If not then I won't bother.
