I've had a listen to these samples, at quality levels starting at 3.0, and 
while I get the vague impression that the encoded version is, perhaps, 
noisier or more trebly, it's not something I can ABX at all. Me and most of 
the rest of the people who rated vorbis the best at 128kbit in that c't 
magazine survey, I guess. 

Which is good, as I'm now in no rush to re-encode my CDs again, after redoing 
all the RC2 stuff last week :-)
