Nothing automatic that I can imagine.  Once the file has been resampled,
it is what it is.  There is nothing that says you can't encode crap from
an old cassette on a cheap deck at 320kbps.

If your ears tell you it's crap, then it is probably crap and you need to
seek out another source, or rip it yourself.

Perhaps a sound program with a good spectrum analyzer would give you a
clue and verify what your ears are telling you.  If you see virtually no
activity above 14khz or so, then it is likely not an encoding from a good
source, or more likely it's been transcoded, as you suggest.
