Well, you can do an A/B/X comparison; Coffeebar2000 makes doing so quite simple. But don't expect your results to sway anyone who's already strongly committed to one side or the other of the debate; if you can't tell the difference, the enthusiasts will just stick with their lossless methods and claim you don't have a proper sense of taste or your mug's not up to standard or something, and if you can, the "lossy is good enough" crowd will call you an elitist idiot who's only pretending in order to justify having spent ridiculous amounts of money on equipment which can't possibly make a difference to what you're tasting.
