Very good point. Using iTunes, I was surprised at how much difference there is between a "good" or "best" mp3 and same tune on the original CD, a/b on the same stereo. Lorens rig is MUCH nicer than mine, so would be quieter, but at highway speeds in my Westy, especially with window down in Summer, I doubt very much I'd hear the difference. Maybe in the upper end (cymbals etc.) but not much else. That said, I bet you'll hear a difference with the engine off Loren. Neil.
