How fast can you download stuff?

[NorthernChaosGod]

A CD-quality FLAC (44kHz, 16-bit) wouldn't. But the advantage of vinyl is that it offers far more sound quality than CDs do, at least if it's new, and so the vinyl rips I download are generally made at better than CD quality. This particular rip was 96 kHz and 24-bit.

Enjoy your placebo .

Trust me, on a decent sound setup there's plenty of difference, mostly because the dynamic range of a cd is comparatively limited to that of good analogue (or better digital). Granted, most people's setups probably aren't good enough to notice the difference.

The human ear is hardly capable of even telling the difference. Any perceived difference is minor and not worth the extra storage space.
