====== ABX Listening Tests =======

Seeing if people can tell the difference between various lossy and lossless audio compression technologies

===== Equipment =====

The weakest point of this setup was the source - we need digital out next time.
  * Source: Intel HDA on T61p laptop
  * Amp: Denon 2803s
  * Headphones: Allessando MS-2s

===== Results =====

Only two people were able to reliably tell the difference between 128kbps lame encoded cbr mp3s and lossless - Justin and kupo. They listened for trills during musically busy parts of songs.
