Well, yes, in this case.
But you get the point I hope. Angelfire seems to think audio tests are a quiz.

So you want to hear the solution? Or should we wait until more people have voted?
Nameless Voice on 18/5/2007 at 00:23
I'd say wait until the voting deadline.
Only 12 votes so far...

Okay...blame Nameless all of you who wanted to know! :)

I can post also a detailed analysis...
[SPOILER]Number one under spectral analysis has a more natural roll off but with a peak at around 15KHz. Still sounds nasal and off tone.
But number two under spectral analysis has a sharp roll off which can explain the strident sound but it has better bass.
Under Maxx Bass plugin analysis the original bass in N1 is definately lower in level and quantity than N2. So is it not just my perception, by isolating the bass post listening tests I discovered that is true, it lacks bass.

Both files sounds fine... I'm interested to hear these files with more percussion, in particular, cymbals. I always tend to notice a big difference between 128 and 224 or higher with cymbals and drums. I encode with CDex if it matters.
Kolya on 18/5/2007 at 06:53
Yeah I used CDex too but that's just the program and I think the codec might matter more. I used LAME version 1.32 engine 3.97 Beta 2 MMX
Edit: I just moved the wav files to another server. Don't worry, they are still the same files in the same order. :)

They are equal?
Ok, the second one's quality is better. But to be sure I have to go home and listen it on my Audigy2ZS+SennheiserHD270

I don't have good speakers, nor headphones right now, but
[SPOILER]The second one sounds a bit worse. Spectrum ends sharply at 16kHz, the first file goes up to the 20kHz. It seems logical that lower bitrate will cause the low pass filter to filter at lower frequency. [/SPOILER]

They both sounds bad.
What I can tell... After I wrote my track, I encoded it in 128, 160 and 192 kbps. I heard the differences between original and each of mp3s.
