This is a good article.  The comment by Chris is revealing in that he is a trained listener, and he has access to professional equipment.  I would like to see a test done with quality consumer grade equipment (PC, MP3 players, stereo systems) with professional trained listeners, such as "Chris."  I would also like to see a test on professional grade equipment by both trained and untrained listeners, even though the conclusion should be obvious.  Trained listeners would include audio engineers as well as musicians (probably conductors).  Enjoyable article!
