I suppose my question really was can you hear a difference between the two
formats?


My question would be: How hard do you want to try and hear a difference?

Listening to different sounds from different sources in different locations
in different conditions requires that we make some sort of
(subconscious?)accomodation, otherwise most of what we heard would be too
hideous. You've attracted some serious ********** comments here - have a go
at this *untreated* vinyl transcription to 256K MP3 and just see if you
*like* it and let me know:

Hint: loudspeakers and a little distance represents 'normal listening
conditions' for most of the human race....
