BARRY,
GREAT ARTICLE!!!! I AM A HUGE RUSH FAN AND I WAS WONDERING WHY I HAVE GRADUALLY STOPPED LIKING THEIR MUSIC OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS. Power Windows was the last great one in my mind.

CDs do sound better than mp3s. It is noticeable on any audio system to my ears.

cough, cough. AAC...

cough cough... Apple lossless codec.

Problem solved.

Then again, if you really are crazy and think you can hear a difference, you could always play .aiff files off of an iPod (or pretty much any other media device)...

When you done with your cough medicine get something for your ears. Or better yet try taking a music appreciation class. Then you like some of the rest of us WILL be able to hear the difference.
