Where did I indicate I want any form of data-reduced / compressed audio? eh?

I can listen to ABC Classic FM on the net on my desktop in the study through Yamaha MS20S fold-back powered monitors.

The ABC use AAC for that and it still sounds better sitting in the study and listening to the bedroom system, a receiver and B&W DM100s, across the hall behind me. Perhaps that's because the speakers in there are B&W DM100s, but I doubt that's the entire picture.

LBNLeast I doubt if many US residents are familiar with what I would regard as good sounding FM. Threads on AA on that subject being part of that view.

And, I have been there with my travelling audio system which I also travelled with it here in Australia. On planes and in hotels, and while walking for exercise.

That system? That US company's 'Traveller pack' :- A class-A amp in a bag, and Etymotics. Plus a DC motor cassette/walkman/radio with variable Freq. spacing, a Portable CDP, and airplane adaptor plugs. Plus powered Sony Spkrs in my suitcase, with a T-ribbon antenna with a 3.5mm plug and a 2-by 3.5mm socket. Spare batteries for the amp.

I now use the MS20s just to listen to videos I am watching on the PC. It was at one time SOP if something I loved was on, for me to switch the MS20s off and walk into the bedroom and lie down in the sweet spot.

Now I just walk in to the bedroom.

I should one day set up more effectively in the study. Probably a rebuilt rcvr fed by the external antenna system, pre-power in/outs added, plus a DIY band-pass P-P sub, maybe even add felt around the MS20S' drivers etc.

The I will be able to AB the two sources. I'm not expecting to change my opinion.
