yeah so the Touch would have an effective SNR of 102dB (approx)? whereas the TP would have 120dB - is that about right? to put that into perspective... you'd have to have your amp on full and ear rammed to the tweeter to hear it (or rather, not hear it) :-) -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
