I dare NOT tell you how my tests fared, but I know one thing, i'm sharing a lot less now than I was?
Standby for blasting over the re-encoding issue, when I can get my act together with all the FFR tests (pictures) I will post the results of some serious tests done with Acoustic Alchemy tracks downloaded from different sources, different users, compared to my own direct CD rips.
Tg, you opened up a can of worms with your re-encoding post.
Snark..
