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

k...

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.

For me:

The difference from 64 or 80kbps to 128 is very, about a 10 on the
Richter scale of improvement in earthquake terms(!)

From 128 to 192, about a 5 on the richter scale.

From 192 to 256 or higher: richter scale 1. (remember I'm essentially
deaf above 14kHz).

From 256 to 320 to CD? I couldn't distinguish those three for beans!
