I scored 3 out of 6. The 3 that I got wrong, I chose 320kbps. I tried this test at 3am and I'm pretty groggy right now. Might do better if I was wide awake. At least I didn't pick the 128kbps as the best sounding. ;)

Thanks for the link. I just hooked up my stereo to my laptop to give this a listen through my Sierra-2s. I scored 4 out of 6 correct, with my two misses being 320kbps. I'm curios if these files are level-matched.
Re: CD vs MP3 listening test
I am deaf. Cannot tell the difference listening with Sony MDRV6 Studio Monitor Headphones. The more I listen to them the more they sounded the same.
Guessed 3 out of 6.
Re: CD vs MP3 listening test
I got 4 of 6. Very subtle differences.
