Example of -Z at work?

I've seen a lot of discussion about the -Z switch, especially since 3.90.3 was posted.  All of the discussion that I've read is pretty technical.  I was wondering if someone could give me an example of the -Z switch at work... either show me two comparing sound clips from 3.90.2, one with -Z and one without, or tell me a modern rock song where the difference would be obvious.  I'm mainly curious because I encoded my whole collection with aps 3.90.2 without the -Z switch.  Thanks.

You are very probably fine with APS, the problem is very rare. I don't think it's worth it to encode your whole collection again, especially if your collection is mostly modern rock songs.
Anyway, read this thread:

The worst case by far is the erhu sample:
