It's this Wednesday, Feb. 9, and while I live about 25 minutes away from Definitive's Seattle showroom, I think I'll manage to avoid that - but what am I saying! Of course the MP3 vs. high-rez demo will be ABX'ed... -------------------- "Not sure what the question is, but the answer is probably no."
