After many years I finally managed to get a hold of a CD I've wanted to get a HQ rip of, only to find that the CD itself is mastered from mp3 files and my brand new FLAC rip has almost exactly the same specs as the old 192kbps files available since time immemorial. Feels bad.
I feel your pain. Had similar experiences with a few CDs where I thought the rips that were floating online were bad... turned out the album was just mastered like garbage.
