MP3 or Not?

Take the blind abx test 15 times to give all 3 samples 5 turns, and post your results!

 

Here's mine:

Barrio San Miguel 5/5

Beautiful Love 2/5

Hard Lovin' Woman 1/5

 

 

On Barrio San Miguel, it was very easy to tell the difference between the 128 and 320kbps file, because the snappiness of the drums and claps were oh so beautiful on the 320kbps. I could have probably taken that same file and got it right 20 times in a row, but that's excessive.

On Beautiful Love, at times it was easy to pinpoint the crispness of the hits on the cymbals, and that was what I was trying to discern, but at other times it was harder.

I was pretty much left guessing on Hard Lovin' Woman. Ideally I would have guessed at 50%, but I'm a bad guesser.

 

The average time I spent on each abx test was around 20 seconds.

You won't be getting much distortion out of a properly encoded 128 file that was from a properly recorded and mastered song. If a song was meant to be distorted, it will sound just as distorted (even more distorted) on the 320 compared to the 128.
