[ARSCLIST] Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] CD Longevity (was Vinegar syndrome audio tapes



Hi Tom-I am a long time lurker on this list, trying to learn what I can, and have been very interested in this thread. I have put about 500 cd's into iTunes, using mp3 format at 196 kbs. I love music, and have always thought I had reasonably good ears. I am disturbed to think that with iTunes(and by this, I probably mean any compressed format) you have vastly inferior audio quality. It is probably my aging ears, but I have trouble telling which is the original cd and which is the iTunes mp3. Are you or others on this list able to listen to both formats without knowing which is which, and tell the difference? (As in the test in Grand Central Station, NYC, where they had live behind one curtain and AR speakers behind the other) Thanks, FBS
