So in reality, claiming that CDs blow MP3s away is a stupid statement.

that's the type of statement i would expect an "elitist" audiophile to make, kinda surprised you're not saying that.
edit: unless you have a really high quality sound system

let's say it like this.

comparing a 256kb mp3 to a FLAC equivalent is like comparing a 720p tv to a 1080p...the bigger/better the system the more noticeable the differences are.

Cant be an elitist if you cant afford the gear.

Plus, anybody who walks into a store and buys a CD would look like a huge phag. Do stores even still sell CDs?
