Do you hear the difference?
i also thought they both sounded poor ( really harsh sounding mid range that all mp3's have).

i'm not sure i would say it's obvious which one is "better" sounding, but i guessed right (based mainly on the hinky high reverby noise/echo when pav holds that long note and just a general sense that the mp3 sounded somewhat thinner, less warm). i suspect you could easily be thrown by whatever you've just been listening to (e.g., if you'd just listened to something muddy, you might find the mp3 cleaner/sharper, and thus thought it better (maybe not a good example)).

i'm glad I got it wrong,
now I can get busy creating music without inane issues to worry about.

i was wondering about that also. i'm listening here at work thru my g4's internal soundcard on a set of sennheiser hd280 pros but still felt it was quite easy to hear the difference. it took me 2 listens each.kaffein wrote:Now if i were listening on an unfamiliar setup, probably not.
i wonder how easy it would be if the music wasn't so dynamic like some heavily compressed dance music..
I hate to be the party pooper and all, but after reading "blink" and other similar books recently, I can't help but feel... ahem. less than impressed by this "test". Now, had they presented 20 tracks in a row, all to be A/B'ed, then it might have been something.
not at this stage. Besides, as some mentioned, what a horrible rip! or horrible recording, even. that high-pitched whine going on is icky.
