you know brent, and others. todays music systems that are purely digital, are a bit if not totally disapointing. from what i know aabout digital files such as those that are made from cds. the quality is what you get, if i remember correctly the underlying actuall, audio is a wav file that has been made in 16 bit, 44100 khz standards such as the red book standard. The tube sound or vacume tube/valve sound of the earlier systems, made sound quality stars above any digital sounding system i have heard. I am in my 30's and can remember a lot of stereo equipment from those days. what i would love to see is a very high quality audio file stereo system with ripping aviable in the unit, with a way to transfer the ripped files to a portable device/ or computer. Also on another note digital speakers vs analog speakers i will take the analog speakers over the digital ones any day. the frequency response of a pure analog speaker system also sounds much better. does anyone remember the panasonic thruster 750's? for analog speakers? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brett Boyer" <bboyer...@gmail.com> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Wednesday, December 30, 2009 9:08 PM Subject: Re: a question about joint stereo and normal stereo
