Now we have a new subject to argue about, both Ralph and Rat have suggested
that poor headphones can cause hiss. I don't think this is possible. I
accept that any transducer can introduce its own harmonics and resonances,
but HISS ? What is the mechanism ?
In any case, Dave had written:

quite astonishing.
Which implied (at least to me) that he had heard differences using the SAME
portable & headphones.
