lecram1971 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Hello, I made a simple test with one song to find if the new 192 for HI-MD is that good.Until now, for my ears, with no profesional equipment, just the earphone that came with my unit, I really don´t find that the 192 is much better than the old LP2. I know it should be, but it´s nos as amazing as LP4 (66kbps) vs HI-LP (64Kbps) where i find an incredible impovement in the sound.I record a Rock song with cymbals and other things so I can find if sound with less artifacts or with less compresion, you find that if you compare 132kbps vs 256 or 352Kbps.I will continue making some "tests" record the same song in different rates trying to find any differences tahat make it worthy to change from LP2 to 192Kbps.

pauljones52 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I feel there is a noticable improvement between LP2 and 192kb/s. 192 has a crisper sound to it, although it is not transparent from the original CD. For me 192 is the perfect balance between quality and file size. But as everyone always says it depends on your equipment and your personal preference.

lecram1971 Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 That´s for sure, all depends in what everyone like. As I told, i did a simple test and with no optimal condition, i will try with others songs to have a better opinion.Another question, I didn´t read the information of the size when you record in 192, but, does anyone have a better comparation of the size in 132 vs 192? how much the file increase?.Thank in advance.

KrazyIvan Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 This is just an estimate but I had a Hi-MD burned at 256k and I redid it at 192k. I had 8 albums on it before and now I think I can fit about 10. I did not have enought time to fill it last night but I'll find out tonight.

greenmachine Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 File size increases by 1-(192/132) = 1-(16/11) ≈ 45%Available time decreases by 1-(132/192) = 1-(11/16) = 5/16 ≈ 31% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't sound as crisp as 256 but much better than Hi-LP. If you're using the factory earphones with your unit, they don't have much of a treble or bass response. Try using better earphones, and maybe 192 will be good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
