    Would you rather watch a fillum or a football match in a high definition video format or on a grainy, low-bandwidth stream? It's the same principle.

    Parallels to other arts like gastronomy could also be made. Personally I don't give a flying phuck about 'faine daining' but if people appreciate the difference in quality then fair play to them.

    I want it in the most convenient and accessible format that still allows me to enjoy it.

    We're on about music; leave your mum out of this, please.

    Fine. No need to sneer at others then, is there?

    You mean there's a difference in quality between CDs and streaming? I guess I qualify for the dead ear category because I've never noticed it. Sounds great to me

    You can hum a tune in the bath and enjoy it, and ham & cheese sandwiches are a great-tasting meal to me, and that's all good.

    With basic speakers you might not notice much difference between formats, and of course ear buds are an utter abomination to audio quality. If doing an AB test between a non-lossy (CD, even more so Vinyl) and a lossy (MP3) through decent amp and speakers, starting with the non-lossy, when you switch to the lossy you feel the need to turn it up to be able to hear it properly, and you keep turning it up and up but it is never there. Because it isn't there.

    Of course it may also be true that one needs an 'ear' to notice differences in audio quality. I have no idea what the universe sounds like without an 'ear'.

    You've obviously only tried the cheaper (wrong) wons, a.

    Klipsch do an excellent range of in-ears. As do Grado.

    Are you making that number up, Ash? I'm always amazed at what I can find on Spotify. In fact, I can't remember the last time I wanted to listen to something and it wasn't on Spotify.
