The chart of the bit rates was extremely accurate. Anything less than 128 kb/s and I discard it and look for something better.

Thanks for the feedback
After reading these tests and experimenting a bit myself, it's become increasingly appearant for me that I myself don't really need albums at 320 kbps. After playing too much drums without hearing protection and so on, I've become a sufferer of tinnitus and my hearing ability has taken a blow so .. Actually, 160 kbps is probably more than I need.
People with young ears like Anteater might wanna "safe it" with higher BR files though, if they wanna make sure they get the best. However, the listening experience will probably be as enjoyable with lower BR files.
192 kbps is the middle ground between the tired old ears and the audiophile's requirements.
