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.

BAN ONE-HUNDRED-TWENTY-EIGHT MBPS for music entirely!!!! It's still
practical for most podcasts(90% spoken word), but I'm just as shocked
that it's still out there. It does most genres of music NO justice,
and it's simply not the breakthrough that it was over a decade ago
when, when .... well what was the prevailing bitrate before the 128
plateau?
