RE: Such a warm more blissful difference between mp3 and FLAC CONTAINERS

I might be the only person on AA who prefers listening to 320kbps MP3 over FLAC decoded in real time....... Sure MP3 loses a smidgen of resolution, but some of the time-domain distortions in FLAC playback are kind of creepy...... Most notably the attenuation in vibrato or inflections....

I was at someone's house, he was playing an Ella Fitzgerald tune on a an expensive server.... I still noticed the attenuation of vibrato in her voice, compared to how I normally hear it. The problem seems to occur regardless of the type of playback source used.
