YouTube music video SQ

YT sounds really good on my home theatre system, comparable to stereo.

why is it so good? We are all very lucky if you watch music vids which I do.

YT bit rate is just 256 kbps I believe, otherwise known as lossy and bad sounding.

Just goes to show how good 128kbps is! 256kbps would be indistinguishable from CD for all intents and purposes.
