In your case Martin, it is exclusively Psycho.
I've heard guys do amazing things with 16/48 that blows away 24/96 or 24/192 and I've heard gobs and gobs of analog that is just music swimming in mud. Go figure...I'll switch to 24 bit before I go to a higher sampling rate.
Mp3 really is awful though, even the higher bit rates
My flux capacitor needs a new Keeney valve.

That's interesting. I have just received a copy of the remastered Tomita 'Snowflakes are Dancing' and it sounds extraordinary. But is it because I've been told it will? Sometimes John and myself get over-sensitised to a particular recording, be it pitch, timbre or some other effect. You have to walk away and return again another day and the problem has gone. I like MiniDisc. It sounds amazing to me, especially at mitigating overly fussy CD sound where it seems to balance out the inherent problems I hear. I suspect it is psycho acoustic effect but I don't care - it works! I mistrust mp3 and have several decidedly dodgy recordings in this format. This may also be psycho acoustic but I suspect it actually is a crap format.
Best,
Martin
