I think .mp3's sound pretty damn good.

But keep in mind that music on your Ipod is in a digital compressed format to make a small file.

CD's and .wav files are digital uncompressed. Vinyl, meanwhile, is analog and just has a sweetness all of it's own.

That's why true audiophiles have super expensive turntables with pre-amp and tube power amp set ups going into real "old school" speaker designs.

Sometimes it's hard to beat "real".

Like with my guitar rig...I use a Helix processor. It uses amp models to emulate classic tube guitar amps and impulse responses to mimic guitar speakers and enclosures.
Sounds damn good.

But when I plug straight into my real Bogner tube head and 4 x 12 guitar cabinet...you instantly know the difference.

But the Helix comes damn close...just a lot easier to tuck under my arm and go to a gig as opposed to loading my amp head and 4 x12 cab into the back of a trailer. lol
