Thanks HD. THAT answers my question precisely. I knew this was the case for the SB but I wasn't sure about the TP I guess since Patrick is a Brit he doesn't speak american and , I hasten to add, I don't speak British (most of my brit friends would say we don't speak english either, we mangle it) :-) My Spanish is better than my British. Thank you both for taking the time. -- tomjtx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomjtx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28889 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
