In an A-B test, yes, even someone with not-so-good ears can hear the difference. But few could tell you which is the most accurate. Yes, there are some ppl that have perfect pitch but they are few and far between.

If the system works for you great, however even in a altima or audi a bose system is still as bad to my ears as ipod earbuds.

I feel sure that your home system is fantastic. But we are talking car audio where the acoustics defy true hi-fi.
I have over 2000 LPs, just under 1000 CDs, plus numerous 8-tracks, cassettes, MD discs, &c. I get high-end stereo equipment for the house, where the environment is conducive to sound reproduction, but not for the car. Putting high-end gear in a car, especially in a small cabin like the 370Z, is like polishing a turd, IMNSHO.
But if your ears can hear that much difference and you are willing to replace the factory system then, by all means, go for it. We all have different ears and I recommend that ppl get the stereo that sounds good to them; not the one that sounds good to me or the salesman.
PS: I've never tried earbuds - I'm a headphones kind of guy.
