Great post John970, thx a lot for taking the time to do a blind test...
I'm just thankful for the digital age letting us play tunes without static, scratches, hiss, and other spurious crap infecting the music, and getting us really close to the studio master recording. And it's so cheap now for really good sound (although I spent a buttload on Mcintosh and B&W) - iPods rock!
I never owned a turntable and never will. But, if you prefer, cool, whatever floats yer boat!
I've got my iTunes folders loaded up with Apple Lossless from CDs. I wish you could choose MP3 downsampling for iPods as an option - MP3 takes up so much less space on these small devices where you might not choose the extra fidelity.
