...ere! :-) - Velvet.wav also sounds better, but transparent quality is reached at -b256+. - Horn.wav still sounds very sucky, mode -b256 gives ~100kbps (this is understandable because in this sample practically there are no sounds above 5kHz) but the artifacts can be easily heard. Mode -b350 gives ~310kbps but still there is a difference (subtle though). I also noticed that you get similar artifacts when you encode simple tones (like 440Hz or 1kHz), no matter what bitrate is used. - The most occurring artifact in -b128,160,192 modes is pre-echo (-b256+ seems to be free from this curse).
