| Procul H's I have most every classic PH album and a few CD compilations and they have all always sounded pretty to very good depending. PHs overall body of work is one the best and most varied in the rock music genre ever IMHO. | |
| CD Ripping software Almarg's scenario is as likely as any I suppose for accounting for sonic differences associated with format.But again, if so, it is not because the flac format looses anyting (when done correctly) but for other reasons associated with the playback... | |
