Makes total sense, but I always thought 128 and 320 kbps for example would be easy to tell apart. It isn’t, at least for me. At the same time I also thought sample rates would not make any difference, but 32 khz (“fm radio quality” on windows) does sound worse.
I got into recordings of vinyl recently because there is something “warm” about their sound, I don’t know if it sounds “better”, but definitely different. Very interesting story about that Sony research though.
