Just found this, very interesting...

[url= http://mp3ornot.com/index.php ]So you think your ears are good?[/url]

I suppose it will depend largely on the quality of your equipment (ears included) as to whether you can discern the difference but I thought this was an excellent idea. Post up your results.

[i]So you think your ears are good?[/i]

Well the audiophiles will tell you it's their equipment that is good, not their ears. Even if they couldn't tell the difference, they would LIE!! 😈

(I certainly can't tell the difference with my cruddy iPod headphones)

Huh, I knew they'd hide from this.
If you asked them which amp to buy for £25000 they would've been all over this thread like a cheap merino baselayer

Gotta get back to work, but an interesting test. Headphones had to be used, wouldn't trust my crap laptop speakers.

I'll be honest I couldn't really tell the difference on my desktop speakers, but I'm a bit puzzled by this. The site is called mp3ornot yet it is comparing 2 MP3 files, albeit with different bit rates. They're all MP3s. Do I win??

i tried 8 times, only got it right once.
im surprised tbh, i can tell the difference on my dab radio easily between stations using a high or low bitrate.

to be fair - all dab bitrates are at or below 192kbps - so you're probably comparing 64kbps to 192kbps, where I'd say there's a much bigger difference than 128 to 320
