So you can distinguish 128 kbps mp3 from 16/44? Where is the bitrate limit when it sounds perfect? Does it start to sound perfect, or does it happen suddenly at a certain bitrate? Is there a sliding scale, or is it the same for everyone, you reckon? -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
