I'm currently encoding a bunch of my CD's using the following switches to LAME 3.95.1:
-p -k -q 0 -V 4 -m s
I have one CD though that is giving me some issues, that is David Gray's "A new day at midnight". In particular, a lot of artifacts can be heard on the last track, "The other side".
It sounds as if LAME is cutting the hiss in and out in the quiet sections of the track leading to very noticeable artifacting. Presumably this has to do with the ATH level. Maybe some investigation of this issue might lead to a more accurate ATH model that was more adaptive and thus produced better quality.
Sorry I can't contribute more than this - as I say I'm not an expert.
Finally, I'd like to thank all whom have contributed to the project over the years - a very fine piece of work IMHO.
