If you are talking about big quality soundsystems then sure you can get away with a 320. There are always those of us out there who can hear the difference but the question you should ask is, is this offensive not get hung up on whether or not it's a 320. The biggest grey area is those mid ranged systems that don't have pro's making sure that everything is set up and balanced correctly. It ultimately depends on the source for the rip. The key thing to keep in mind is that the MP3 doesn't have too much treble. As long as it's balanced it's fine. A scientific fact is that people become aggressive if there is too much treble in a club, that's why it's always a nightmare when you play at some dive with the owner or cleaner messing with the EQs for the sound system because the bar staff are complaining that they can't hear the punters ordering drinks. Anyway enough tangents... bottom line is you will be fine. Cheers Nem

OT a bit but where did you read about the treble pissing people off?

R.

ive heard smth similar. that treble (hi freq) makes females produce more adrenaline, so if you got a lot of girls on the floor just + 6 db on the hi's and you'll be doing just fine

Can't remember the exact source but it's from when I was in 6th form college doing a study on aggression for my Psychology A Level. It wasn't just a passing glance at some magazine, it's properly documented. I will see if I can't find the source.

Cheers

interesting...i can see really piercing highs being annoying, and even painful...but scientifically documented to lead to aggression. cool.

please post the source if u do find it though.
