Default Question: Is "128" Totally Irrelevant As A Bitrate?

I still see 128s out there and can really hear the difference between
one of a song and a 192bit of that same song. I have a harder time
hearing the diference going from 192 to 256kb and up though as i've
lost me top!


it is about clarity, bass tightness even, listen for the canvas, the small
details in the room, that said I'll re-iterate that acceptable - defined as
better than compact casette - starts at 192 kbit/s, in that we fully agree.
