Peter, I have a very good stereo system dating from 1985 I have been recording Etc. since 1976 using stereo of various quality. Now my hearing is a little degraded due to my age - I've tried not to abuse hearing as I rely so much for navigation - I cannot reliably hear frequencies above 15kHz so for me, 192kbps seems fine. A few eyars ago, I dare say higher would have been ideal.
