If you look in the upper right corner of Phil's posts you can see he has
been around here a while.
Probably long enough to remember seeing several "improvements" to along
the way. (and an out of control power supply flame war)

As for me, I just remember a Maximum PC article a few years back where
they selected 5 different people, a couple of whom were an audiophile
and a musician and did double blind testing of compressed vs.
uncompressed music.  Each participant was allowed to select a few
tracks of their own that they were familiar with to listen to.

The results were not what you would expect.  Most participants chose
one of the compressed tracks as the original uncompressed track. 
Several preferred the lower bit rate tracks to the original track. The
part that I found interesting was the neither the musician or the
audiophile did any better selecting what was what in the double blind
tests.

If you can't show results of double blind testing then its like some
salesman telling me this more piece of copper wire is better than that
piece of copper wire.
