I downloaded a music file tuther day, and after thoroughly enjoying it went to change the file. As I did this I just happened to gaze at the information displayed at the bottom of my media player... and then my world collapsed.
 
I'd only been listening to a 256 kps mp3 file!! The entire album was only 75.5 MB's!!
 
I felt physically sick..
 
Furious and disorientated I threw my half drank glass of Apocalypse Now (Tequila and Irish cream) across the room and immediately set forth to the kitchen to make another...
 
Won't be doing that again I can tell ye! (Tequila's not cheap)

Before you knew the bit rate, were you enjoying what you heard? Be honest.

Here are some pix of my Music room. All the memorabilia on the walls is signed by the artists. I just added the ASC Tube Traps to the back corners and after many years of service my Pre-amp/DAC died and I have replaced it with the Audio-gd Master 1 and Reference 7.1 combination. I am extremely happy with how the system is sounding. Now what's next?

I think the speakers are the only part of my rig that can be considered even remotely high end

Magnepan MGII. Need to fix some delamination on the right speaker (bass panel), but I got them for a ridiculously cheap price so I can't really complain.

Sorry my friend, but that was just a joke post. I was just going with the flow.. But to add, in all honesty I'm quite happy to listen to variable approx 250kps as this is a standard from places such as Amazon. I think it is good enough. I will try to get bigger music files if they are available but when you are after rare contemporary Classical and Jazz records that cost many $$ to buy on cd or record, a download for a fraction of the price is always going to be the best option. Some of my favorite recordings are lower than 320kps and I can't fault them.
 
Cheers

To really feel the difference between the 320 and lossless, do not need amazing gear. I clearly hear the difference, to be honest. Even at early years of playing with formats, codecs I used to upconvert (shame on you, I know) my crappy clubby pop songs (128 to 320 kbps) to FLAC. Even then they sounded a bit better: more fuller, to be short. And for today, I listen to only EAC'ed lossless music, size difference between this rips and 320 one's is dramatic, but for electronic music it is crucial. In my opinion, of course.
 
Now back to awesomness thread!

It's no different from the expensive wine in a different bottle argument.  Taking a $2 bottle of wine and pouring it in a bottle that cost $1000, doesn't make it taste any better...unless the $1000 wine is still in there lol.
 
Anyway....MAS PICTURES!!!!

Have you ever had a $2.00 bottle of wine?
