I can't hear the difference either, but I don't have a high end system. LOL

I don't think I could hear the difference.

So guys (and gals) ... what do you think? There may be already similar polls, but I'm particularly interested in how such a poll will turn out in 2009 ... download stores are gaining popularity, and it seems to me like MP3 is slowly, but steadily becoming the successor of the physical formats.

BTW: Let's not include consideration of artworks, booklets or other aspects here ... I think there's another poll that I started a few months ago which specifically asks whether you would purchase MP3s instead of CDs. Let's make this poll just about the actual music.

Smile

BTW: My vote goes to: "There's no audible difference even on high-end systems". To back that up and in case some of you don't already know the study:

Even nine years ago they could not hear a difference.
