Wow - kudos to you for having the bravery to post in an [audiophile] forum and admit that you ripped your collection in MP3 VBR! ;^P To improve sound quality, for one I'd throw out that lossy-MP3-ripped collection and re-rip it in a lossless format (such as FLAC). Part of your sound could stem from the fact that MP3 - no matter what bit rate - tends to compress and "craptize" any audio! As to why your sound is distorted... I am assuming you are inputting your sound via analog RCA cables? While that shouldn't have much to do with it, make sure the RCA input on your 90's Sony system isn't PHONO, as this could cause a bit of a problem. Also, when you ripped your CD's did you have some sort of amp-gain setting on your files? I'm sure others will chime in here eventually.
