on the transport side. There are many manfacturers out there claiming immunity to the transprot. You should ask yourself then why they all still run Amarra on presentations. I guess on RMAF there was not any presentation not running a so called audiphile playback software. Cheers -- soundcheck

Just as a reminder. If you load regularly nightly builds, make sure that you wipe the plate prior to it. You push the black button on the back 5s. Just a minor upgrade might leave some dead bodies around. You don't want that to happen. ;) -- soundcheck ::: ' Touch Toolbox 3.0
