I take your comment to mean that the audiophiles would be all up in
arms about over this article. After all the article is filled with
transgressions against the standard audiophile dogma:
If we accept that a LAME-encoded MP3 can be proven to sound better than
the source, then this means the MP3 sounds DIFFERENT than the source.
And any case where an MP3 sounds different from the source would be
considered a bug by the LAME developers, and they would attempt to fix
it.
So even if
So if you took the CD, encoded using LAME then convert back to another
CD, it sounds better...
So if you took that CD, converted to MP3 and back to WAV on CD it gets
even better...
And on and on and on :-)

For some reason some of sound on the drum snare at 2:54 is gone,

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.
If the author -really- believes what he's claiming, then he should
objectively change his listening equipment to something that fits
batter his taste.
And stop torturing the initial recorded material and wasting our time.
