Part of your sound could stem from the fact that MP3 - no matter what bit rate - tends to compress and "craptize" any audio!" This for a shelf system. Yeah that is the first thing you do. Get rid of everything you have not knowing what rate that is was ripped at or if he even has the albums. It's got to be those damn mp3's doesn't it. Tell me Ralph, why didn't get your hackles up about troll comments? It fit's your criteria. Instead you just shine it on and agree in a not so subtle way.
