High Albert, My speaker system was home built by me. I am also using a pare of tube amps that I built from s5 electronic kits. Ripping the same track in MP3 verses Wma lossless sounds a little different. But then again, tubes lets the sound come through as is. MP3's sounds a little watered down while the WMA lossless sounds just like a true audio CD. Hope this helps.
