I should probably answer your post as Nick mentioned.

But still, it doesn't mean that 128MP3 sounds "better" or "more > accurate" than redbook, is it ? No I agree red book is more accurate than 128MP3 and I agree hi-rez is more accurate than red book. I'm just discussing what is audible. As explained I do have a few reasons to stay with red book so I need convincing that more is needed. The Japanese study is interesting because it goes against the studies I've read so far. A couple of things that count against it are its lack of corroborating studies and the 'extremely' comment which does bother me. (One question about the AES study: I assumed they could listen as long as they liked as in a normal ABX test, but it seems some of you think the samples were time-limited. If you can provide a reference to where it says the samples were time-limited that would be interesting.) Perhaps the only way to truly resolve these points, for me, is to do some corroborating studies - with something like the London Philharmonic as Nick suggests.
