If you want to be able to keep bashing MP3 and how much it destroys  
music then by all means do some ABX tests with your transparent  
recordings of a 40 instrument orchestra and come back with the results.

I have recordings of Dvorak's Aus der Neuen Welt, Orff's Carmina  
Burana, Stravinsky's Rite of Spring and Holst's The Planets so if you  
don't want to use one of your records just specify which track and  
10-20s part of one of mine and I'll prepare some files for you.

We're eagerly waiting...
