Are you an audiophile? Here’s a way to take the test!

There is a whole deal about sound quality. They say 128kbps MP3 = evil and the way to go is WAVs, uncompressed, or even vinyl; all modern music is awful quality etc.

A lot of people, when comparing two sound qualities, know which file is low res and listen with prejudice and so it is important to do a double blind test and see if you really can pick out the best quality sample.

Here is the website which tests you 

And all I will say is I got 0/6 correct as I seemed to favour the 320kbps MP3 files. Personal preference I guess, and it goes to show, high-quality MP3s are not bad. Most people are unable to distinguish any, and only true sound engineers/audiophiles can distinguish the extremes.

This is very important for the Digital DJ era where tracks are trading off quality for lower storage intensity. What I would recommend is get the best quality MP3s to DJ with and it will resolve many potential sound issues.

If you use low bitrates it will show up at loud volume on good sound systems, but most clubs and small venues have a questionable sound quality which renders the whole debate useless. If you have good quality tracks and it still sounds bad, then at least you aren’t to blame!
