Garbage In, Garbage Out?

Hey all.

I've been broadcasting for nearly 2 years now at 128 kbps. Over that time, I have been converting most of my mp3s to 192 bit. When playing the songs through my station, and listening to my stream, it seems as though the 192 bit mp3s have a much better quality about them, despite the fact that I'm still only broadcasting at 128.

Is this improvement in sound quality for real, or is just in my mind, knowing that the source song is improved quality? Does it come down to the proverbial "garbage in, garbage out"?
