I've never said the compressed is better. I've said that for most people it can be as good. Maybe you should look at those studies that you allude to. Part of what I've said is that there isn't as many "golden eared audiophiles" as there would appear to be if you believed everyone. If you have read my posts I almost always say that I do know that some are. Also if you read my post on mp3's @ 320 being better it was not my original post all I had said is that there was some interesting stuff there. Things that could be talked about and not just slammed. I think this must be what set you off on your rant on me. It would be nice if you would give some examples of where I went wrong with you because I haven't had a problem with anyone else here. I'm always willing to talk and admit when I'm wrong but just to be told how to post and that I'm ignoring science does bother me. Oh and tell me again what a troll is because I'm getting real sick of you calling me one.
