NewSc2 that site doesn't seem to be working.... is the link correct or is there another you can give? Would like to take a look
Originally posted by stereth --alt-preset standard is damn near transparent to my ears. It has trouble on mid drum and bass drum transients, as well as some heavy guitar distortion (Red Hot Chili Peppers kind of distortion). I voted 320 cbr. --r3mix seems to have a few more artifacts on the above points than --aps. My system: Winamp 2.81+MAD -> Sonica -> Sony V6 |

Originally posted by NewSc2 grinch, that type of testing has been done before. check out r3mix.net's guide to quality of mp3's www.r3mix.net (click on "Quality" tab) Edit: they performed tests using $10k+ equipment (Sennheiser Orpheus and a B&W Nautilus 803 with Marantz amp) and audiophiles could not tell the difference between 256kbps mp3 and CDs edit: r3mix.net seems to be down - mirror here: http://users.belgacom.net/gc247244/ |
I don't use r3mix anyways, I always use 256kbps CBR using Lame. |
Originally posted by grinch perhaps if somebody can make mp3s of various quality and then decompress them back to wave and burn all waves to cd (including the original) and then listen to them on a high-end cd player, that would be interesting. anything under that kind of testing just doesn't sit well with me. |
Originally posted by Audio&Me Saying mp3 is transparent is like trying to claim that mud is clear. MP3 is cool, but it sucks compared to MPC. tanfenton know's what's up. =) |
