Im afraid I dont take MP3 and the like particularly seriously, although its useful for background music or in portables. Always sounds a bit fluffy and diffuse, as if there was something wrong with my ears. Low bass does seem to lack power and definition. CDs sound pretty good these days, but I still think a good vinyl record on a decent turntable is better. Unfortunately getting the music out of the groove involves proper engineering, which can never be done really cheaply.
Stu, youre an old fogey with your MP3s. The kids are into vinyl these days!
