Hi. Al7478 said "When i rip a 320kbps mp3 in media player, it sounds like im listening to a radio at the bottom of the deep blue sea, compared to the same song ripped to the same format and bitrate ripped with EAC". I can tell if I'm listening to a source in a radio at the bottom of the sea from a cd! But I can't tell different formats apart, hence I challenged him for this test. See my post, "If it's as you say, then you could even be able to tell if a file is in 320 windows media player mp3 or lossless even if it's music you've never listened to (I can do this with the radio and a cd, let alone if they're playing the radio at the bottom of the sea!). Are you keen to do this challenge with me? I send you a well recorded song and you tell me whether it's that mp3 or lossless." He accepted this challenge, maybe because he didn't realised I said I was going to send only ONE file. The file I uploaded is a well recorded classical music cd (as most classical music cds) of a piano piece (hence he can still have some degree of comparison with other recordings of piano music). If al7478 wants, he can give up to this test, and I'll consider this matter to be over (I'm anyway not interested in the format comparison). What I've always been asking to, is for a comparison of an iPod with a cd player as sources. And then yes, I mean ABX comparison.Cheers,(and to fr0g, when you mean the difference between 128 and 190vbr is quite large you mean to can abx them with your headphones and pc? Which set of headphones do you have?) Thanks.
