Just curious, do you intend to post a link to this test at the Steve Hoffman Forums? I have taken to visiting that site lately before I buy a CD to see which release is considered to have the best sound quality. I have bought some of their recommendations, which really do sound good. I really like the forum but there are some pretty hefty claims made by some members with regard to their ability to hear differences between Redbook and hi-res music. I can understand people getting confused over this as I did the same. When I bought the 24/96 download of "Band On The Run" I was blown away. I thought the great sound quality was from hi-res, but later realized it was from the different mastering. Well that, and the last time I owned this album was on 8 track! So I was comparing a decades old memory of how this album sounded.
