I think it’s great that you do your own recording, and it’s long puzzled me that more audiophiles don’t do the same. When you make your own recordings, you’re in the best position to judge how your system sounds. After all, you were there at the original event.
It seems to me that it was much more common for audiophiles to make recordings in the early days of hi-fi, but of course the whole hobby was much more DIY then. But, today’s recording equipment is much less expensive! While good microphones remain pricey, the rest of the gear isn’t, especially recorders ... it’s amazing what a good digital recorder can do today. (I’m still an analog/vinyl guy, but digital surely has its place.)
So I hope I don’t offend when I say that a 128kb mp3 file just isn’t sufficient, imo, to offer a meaningful answer to your question. Perhaps that’s why others haven’t responded to you. Is there a way you can share a higher quality file, such as through Dropbox? That would be a big help and I promise to listen and provide feedback if you can make that happen!
