>>My tests predict that if your gear is decently good, you'd find that MD
sounds the same as the CD to your friends in critical headphone tests, and
that 256 or 320 Kbps MP3s would also have that same potential. Your friends
could not
>Highly doubtful. If he is using Seinnheiser headphones or other very high
quality audiophile gear, and his friends have good hearing as well, they could
easily tell the difference between MP3's.
Sennheisers have strong upper-treble response. It would be interesting to
insert an EQ after the A/B switch and listen to just the upper treble range of
the frequency spectrum in isolation, while A/B'ing compressed vs. uncompressed
sources. Have many people tried this non-flat analysis? We may be able to
generalize that if you boost the upper treble during playback, this magnifies
the lossy-compression artifacts.
