This reminds me on the anecdote where the king asks his "scientists" why does throwing a dead fish into a full glass makes it overflow, but if you throw a living fish into it it doesn't? They came up with 20 different theories explaining it, and not a single one did the test... I never ever heard a sizzle in mp3's, and I know nobody who does. (assuming we are not talking about 64mbit/sec mp3s...) What is he talking about? I tried to find original works of Mr. Berger about his research, and couldn't find anything but these claims in different "news" sites. (Never trust statistics you didn't fake yourself). My own tests revealed, I don't hear a difference on good headphones between original and a 192kb mp3 for "normal music". As far as I know the usual double blind tests reveal the same even for expert listeners, they might need maybe 256 kB. I bet my ears are bad, but I don't care...;-) Hearing a sizzle should be prominent I guess. Of course if you subtract the compressed sound from the original, you might hear a sizzle, but that's exactly that part of the sound which gets masked, and which is actually missing in the compressed sound...
