Attached is a 10 sec clip of the original song before encoding. Try encoding this clip with lame 3.95 --preset medium and --preset cbr 160 to compare.
Full Version: problem sample for --preset medium
I tried abx with the flac and preset-medium encode with 3.5.1-1/7-gave up.
I thought I was hearing a more distinct "click" after-1 2 3 4-soft click, louder click in right channel, but failed with abx. I didn't try preset 160. My ears must be shot or something-used sennheiser 580s for abx test.
my hearing rolls off after 15K-this is maybe why I failed abx with this sample.

I noticed that the effect is a lot easier to hear under two conditions: 1) The volume is loud 
and 2) Headphones are naked "in the ear" style instead of "over the ear" with foam pads covering them.

If a hiss is one of the problems with the sample encoded with 3.5.1, then my "no hearing past 15K" definately is a reason I could not abx the sample. I did have the volume loud, almost uncomforatbly so during the test, but no earbuds, just my normal over the ear 580's.
