Recommended Systems

Moving forward, if you are interested in improving your music listening experience, there are a few basic equipment changes you can make.  The easiest thing to do is using higher quality music files.  The next most important thing is the quality of the headphones or speakers.  In addition to that, an amplifier with enough power to control the headphones or speakers will improve sound quality.  These are some things to consider if you want to move forward with higher quality audio.  Below are some recommended systems at different price and complexity levels.

We understand that there is usually a middle ground between cost of improving your setup and the value of hearing higher quality music. Most people can improve their current sound system inexpensively (better earbuds and higher bit rate files); however, the more sophisticated systems take more investment. Below is a list of ways to improve different common sound systems.

To gain a better understanding of the differences in audio quality among different bit rates of digital music, visit the site below to take a listening test.  We recommend that you utilize headphones  or earbuds when taking the test to determine if high quality sound files are a good investment to improve your experience.
