Being in my mid-forties, I certainly don't have golden ears (if I ever did) and my system is reasonable but by no means high end. I can tell the difference and I'm sure most folks with normal hearing could. Spotting the signature artefacts of compression is I suppose, a wee bit like looking at those 'magic eye' pictures or spotting the ad-break warning marker on the corner of the TV screen. Most folk don't see them, but once spotted you can't easily fail to notice them.
