Title: RE: [ukha_d] Lower Lower Price on DDAR

I use SoundJam MP3 with medium-high VBR.  I have plugged my empeg into my next door neighbours _very_ expensive home stereo set-up.  This guy is quite crazy about home audio, using £1000 per sq. metre interconnect cable!!

Anyway, results were stunning, back to back listening (not blind I will add) of a track on CD and a track on the empeg revealed no perceptible differences in quality.  His home audio setup does sound very nice indeed.

M

P.S.  A lot is in the encoding, get it wrong or use a poor encoding engine (can't comment on LAME) and you will not be happy with the results.
