With no cheating at all, I can't get passed the MP3 tests in the Bronze stage.

Hi,
Well I've breezed through the Basic and Bronze
Stages just using my very basic computer speakers
(X140's) and haven't seen a test related to MP3.
rgds, sreten.
Ah... MP3 tests are on the Silver stage ...
It is a tricky stage for sure, seems easy
to get confused and get worse at it, a
new track your not used to doesn't help,
and a very annoying tedious clip to boot.

I didn't take the test.
However, I have heard the difference an ohm makes
in a crossover.
These were Mills 1% resistors used for the slope of the
crossover point in a pair of Magnapan speakers.
I couldn't figure out why the 1.5 ohm resistors sounded
so much worse than the 1 ohm, 2 ohm resistors.
When I measured it it was actually a 2.5 ohm resistor
that had gotten mis labeled.
Maybe I will take the test. But you know going through cheesey
little computer speakers isn't really "hi-end" is it?
