I got 2 set of FLACs and a MP3
1 FLAC is a vinyl rip (first stored as 24-bit WAV and then compressed to a 24-bit FLAC)
1 FLAC that's a 'remaster' (based on the labelowner's words)
and
1 MP3 that goes up to 22khz.
First example is my vinyl rip. This one (with more from the same artists) have most likely used a cutoff filter some kind, as most of these vinyls predates the wider use of MP3.
Second example is from a remaster bundle that was sold in wav format, but clearly contains mp3 compression artifacts. FTF detects this as alright because there isn't a clear cut off because the remasters ups the ante on the artifacts (even though visible there is a clear cut-off)
Third and last example is a MP3 from a label where quite a lot of the mp3's are filling the spectrum with no clear compression artifacts. If I were to trans-code this to a FLAC, I doubt FTF would know it was from a MP3... which it didn't, as it said the file wasn't fake (when I clearly trans-coded it from a MP3!)
Note: I am using Foobar2k to see if a file is really fake or not, as it's the only tool I have compared to spek and FTF that actually shows mp3 artifacts at higher freq.

flacmusic.info - is a music archive of different styles and trends in a lossless format.
Music in lossless format - is an opportunity to listen to music with new sensations of the original sound in uncompressed and lossless quality. It is also to hear the deep breaths that a singer within a performance, how a guitarist runs his fingers over the strings of his beloved guitar, how a drummer brushes the snare drums...
- It doesn't seem to perform very well with classical music. I tried sample tracks from five different classical CDs and Lossless Audio Checker (LAC) gave Result: CUTOFF for all of them. If interested, there's also True Audio's Aucdtect (or auCDtect), which hasn't been developed since 2004, but it didn't have the same problem as LAC with my classical samples – each likely has.

Audiochecker V2.0
For those who love multi-channel audio - there are DVD-Audio and Audio-DVD formats which can be split into many channels with frequency sampling from 24-bit to 192 kHz. For stereo with high bitrate we recommend Vinyl-Rip collection where the music is digitized from vinyl records with a unique warmth and crackles from the LP.
flacmusic.info website provides you with information and preliminary introductory material, including samples, which can be saved before you legally purchase the CDs, DVD-Audio or Vinyl.
