What type of music you are listening to is definitely a crucial component. If any of you remember, last year NPR had a test where you could A/B between four different songs and then had to pick which one was lossless, which was MP3, etc. I could nail the first three (I think it was a Neil Young acoustic song, a classical piece, and an alt rock song) but when they got to some Drake/Kanye/Katy piece o' compressed pop shit I could not tell the difference to save my life. That was on my office system. I suspect that on the big rig in the living room I may had done better but there's not a decent way to feed audio from a computer to that amp (thank god).
