Maybe I'm just stupid. I thought I read about one somewhere in this
thread. But there does seem to be an ABX test software out there..<br>

Which might very well be because you know that it's an
MP3 and you "know" MP3s sound bad.<br>
Please do show that you can't stand MP3s by providing an
ABX score.<br>

And just to add to that a little bit of (maybe friendly)
advice to Ralf (Sorry Peter, for hijacking your post):<br>
<br>
Ralf, this is a chance to grow as a human. Have your
convictions challenged and learn about nature and yourself.
Since you are emotionally invested into knowing you're
right, this is potentially especially valuable. Since people
who are emotionally invested in their convictions often take
a little time to adjust to having an essential part of their
world view shattered (I personally know some people who went
from being religious to being open about what we can really
learn about nature - so I have a a little bit of experience
with this), do the double blind test in the privacy of your
home. I learned about the ABX plugin from this thread. What
a great opportunity :D Do not report back to us, what you
found. Let it sink, repeat the test a few times with
different material, different encodings, etc., and find out
what difference you can REALLY hear.<br>
<br>
Have fun,
<div><br>
Flo<br>
