"If you have special settings that make the LAME encoder work better than the default ones, then please post these so that everyone can try them on their own, if they are so interested.I am not interested in participating in any "test" to to help "prove" or "disprove" any agenda. I've been there and done that."
Tony, this is not about special settings making MP3 "work" better. It's settings so that the "Audacity Cowboys" - the folks who listen with their eyes via a sound editor - will not spot the lossy file as easily. From a sound perspective, this should not really lead to a difference.
The bottom line is whether the general "audiophile" population (presumably with much-better-than-average ears & equipment claiming that they can easily discriminate out MP3) can differentiate 1.4Mbps CD audio from a lossy file about 1/4 the size.
BTW: I would like to know what other agenda you think I have.
