exactly. The reason Mp3 is so popular is because the compression scheme is so awesome. Mp3s work by tricking your ear into hearing things that aren't really there. Mp3 uses the same technology as DivX (Motion Picture Expert Group) files. They are extremely efficient. I believe the compression in ogg is just slightly better, but thet havent taken off yet. I guess I would have to do a side by side comparison of equal size files of both formats to determine which one is higher fidelity. (Yea, I'm a big computer geek with all this stuff...If anyone on the boards ever needs computer help I'm the one to come to)However, I am new to the world of home-theater.
I will look into a new receiver..How do you like the 1602? Is there any real difference between monster cable and cheaper (non-oxide) speaker wire?
