In the world of high-end audio, being "unique" and "special" is what it takes to sell a product or to sell your opinions. The author of the article has found his "uniqueness" by making claims counter to all logic and to all other wanna-be audiophile gurus that a lossy codec actually improves sound. That's called marketing. He has found his "thing" and he'll stick to it, hoping it will propel him to the top of the audiophile dung heap.
The author of LAME even tells him how to test his "proven" idea- double-blind, but we all know how most audiophiles feel about that subject! It's no wonder a rag called "Positive Feedback" publishes screwy stuff. They're stuck in a loop and feeding back their own nonsense. Expect wild oscillations and lots of annoying noise! I want my 7 minutes back that I wasted reading that dumb article.
