I would love someone to do an experiment. If you have friends who say they can tell the difference between MP3, CD and SACD (high res).

Play 3 different songs (it doesn't matter what they are just the three need to be different). have one of them an MP3, one a CD recording either FLAC or WAV, but some lossless format. And the last one a HighRes 24/96 or above. Play them in any order you like.

Then get the friend to say which one was recorded in what format. I would bet that no one would get it right other than sheer luck. Without something else to reference it against, I don't think you could tell.

If Axiom has another one of those anniversary parietes, I will definitely be coming up and really want to give this experiment a try.
