Were your evaluations done under proper conditions, as mentioned above? Did you do a blind test?

As, promised, the MP3 vs CD articles. There are actually 2. Basically, they did a first one with audio enthusiasts in an "audio club" and these people can't tell a difference, for the most part. Then they redid the test with a...
