Yep, some of them are so good they come up to level about 5% of that
of a cheap CD player.


About as good as a 64kbps mp3 file, then?


Only if you add wow, flutter, rumble, tics, pops, distortion etc. to
that MP3 file. Once did that to a 128kbs MP3 to see how many people
preferred it to the CD it was taken from (without telling them what I
was playing of course) No surprise there were a few. :-)
