Ok so it seems i may have bought some dudd earphones. Should have followed the advice on this forum.
If you trust your earphones / speakers to deliver superb sound, then download this file and have a critical listen.
It is direct to flac from a brand new cd with NO scratches.

Have a listen esp, at around 2:30 - 2:40
The piano section there sounds CRAP with capitols!
Is this due to a bad recording, a bad rip, or are these new earphones really that crap?
I initially ripped as 320kbit, then when i heard this, i ripped as flac. same thing. so it might either be the earphones are not that great at creating piano sounds, or it is a flaw on the studio recording which I almost doubt.
