FLAC or AIFF? your choice for importing to Itunes.

Sorry Steve, the TAS article is very suspect. Stereophile rejected it before TAS published it. I hate to say, but these guys probably would have heard a difference in sound depending on the phase of the moon. That report is open to a lot of question. I would not use it to support your position.

Steve - I understand your position. My suggestion is just that this set of article gets a lot of criticism. You may think it helps you position, but I believe it hurts your position because of all the baggage it has. You are one of the few who seems to be supporting the article. But, that is up to you.
