I remember one audiophile tester at the audio magazin mp3 test was able to difference most mp3s. That was because of a hearing loss and masking didn´t work with his ears to well. The other studies i read over time didn´t have audiophiles that were clearly better at picking mp3´s. I spent much time with lame and mp3. I was one of the persons that helped tuning lame 10 years back when it wasn´t that mature. I found several samples that were used for tuning. These were mostly samples with obvious artifacts to my ears, not everybodys. And over time i had many "mp3 is sh**" listeners that couldn´t tell me if it is the mp3 or wav when burned back to cd. I think i am a very critical listener and try to avoid to fool myself. That isn´t easy cause it happens pretty fast. -- Wombat Transporter -> RG142 -> Avantgarde based monoblocks -> Sommer SPK240 -> self-made speakers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wombat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4113 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82067
