I’ve heard that tigole is the best, but i’ve also seen Silence, SAMPA, etc. Is there really any difference? Should I avoid any of them?

    I’ve tried to look into this by analyzing the media and encoder information, and all I’ve come up with is that tigole is slightly larger than Silence (by like 4%), but seems to use the exact same “sets” of encoding profiles. So in theory I believe they should be identical, but in practice might not be.

    There is a difference between choices they make when encoding, which I suppose can affect quality. Unless you’re talking a really old release, they’re all relatively consistent now. Ghost puts a lot of work into their releases, not sure that Tigole does.
