RE: "the quality of the original recording trumps everything else"

" But that's not incompatible with preferring hi-rez, all other things being equal (which is what I think you were also saying)."

I was hoping to say a little more than that and apologise for my failure.

What I was trying to say is that in most cases (not all) the difference between a hi-res version and the redbook version of a well produced, well reproduced, recording will not be clearly discernable as part of a normal listening session i.e. not sitting there carrying out a/b comparisons to spot tiny differences. That is if you spent an evening here just playing albums, some hi-res some not, and I asked you to guess which were which I doubt that it would produce a statistically significant result.

However I will admit to normally choosing the hi-res version "just in case". So I do have a preference in that sense.
