I have friends that are die hard 320kbps for anything they download....we all dj the same music at the same clubs on different nights, and no one (even them) can tell that I am using the 128 over their 320
True enough. I've always had a knack for picking up subtle differences in music though. Like those 'tonedeaf' tests, where they play a sound file then play another sound file that is slightly different, I would always get 100% correct. The really funny thing is I almost hate music, I don't own a single music CD. For the longest time I didn?t even have a radio in my car because I just simply wouldn?t use it LOL. The only music I've ever found to my liking is Europop (as gay as that may be).

I guess it?s sorta like how many people can?t see more than 32fps, and how most can?t see past 64fps? yet many fighter pilots have been observed in tests seeing way beyond 64fps. Weird chit.
