OK yes I see your point. Maybe I should have been a little more specific. If a golden ear listener not trained in identifying the compression artifacts by ear, listening through an "audiophile" quality system still cannot hear the difference.....

I mean someone trained to focus on the artifacts would certainly notice the negatives, but personnaly I'm finding some of the high bitrate compression algorithms pretty darn good. Of course the 128Kbit garbage so popular is obviously bad even to me.
