| Simon, this is one of the funniest things I have read in a long time. Thanks

Hey, at least both Ralph and I agreed on something ;).
But it is not so much as the headphones causing hiss but seeming to cause
hiss when what they are really doing is amplifying "peaky" high-frequency
noise that would be inaudible with different/better headphones. The
significant difference between Sony ATRAC and Sharp ATRAC is that Sharp
tends to have better high-frequency response where Sony has better low-
frequency response. If there is high-frequency noise in the original
signal, the combination of Sharp ATRAC and hissy headphones could
conceivably amplify it.
