Hi Gary! I can just say what I did was a pretty clear experiment. I can only say that my Logan speakers are very very detailed, and the can really do "magic"....... but when playing MP3 the magic dissapears. What I love so much about my speakers, is the air and room they can make. And voices......... But all the magic is gone when I listen to MP3. It does not sound awfull but the magic, that I love so much is gone..... And when all comes to all. Who cares about diskspace anymore....... No reason for MP3 with todays diskprices ....... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ callesoroe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22693 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98374 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
