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.


Frankly I see no reason for less than 256kbs these days, but I sure
as hell think 128kbs was better than compact cassette at least.



Hell no ! Cassettes never put phasers onto cymbal decays and light acoustic
guitars. Just hiss.
