Man, this is the exact opposite of what I feel I have discovered. The crappier the source [in my case, low quality LAME rips] the worse the sound. With LAME v2, v0 or even better, FLAC, the Panas really shine for me.

I thought I was crazy but then I read most of the Pana threads on that other site and found others seemed to observe the same "garbage in garbage out" phenomenon.

Placebo? Probably.

Sad they are not working out for you...
