so why test with mp3 besides the fact that it's recognizable?
That's assuming anyone participating actually has a $2000 mp3, or very expensive, mp3 collection. I think it's safe your concern is mitigated by the fact that most here are audiophiles and want to experience the best sound, and would want to hear a difference. I personally did. But as mentioned I have a $3k+ setup, SE846's with audioquest victoria interconnects,dac, amp, tube amp, etc etc.... I did several listens and actually guessed that the 128kbps was the lossless and lossless was 128. I fancy myself an audiophile and have been a musician since my teen years.

Personally, I'm very confused by the whole thing. Mark me down as one who does terribly on AB testing but continues to believe there is a difference.
so is it my equipment? my ears? is it simply not possible to hear the difference? i do have mild tinnitus so maybe that's the issue? well whatever the deal is, i may have wasted my time and memory re-ripping all my music lossless.
