I can do so when I get home (around Chicago at the moment), but like I said, you'll have to burn it to CD.

Well, ask him to explain why the hiss levels are the same on the two CDs.
I can say something till I'm blue in the face, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's true. Somehow people got it in their heads that AR has NR, so now of course it must be true. I don't think a single one of them has put the two discs side by side to compare hiss.
You can ask Steve, too. He has a forum, you know?

I could just as easily e-mail him, or he could just as easily respond here. I doubt either of those will happen, though.
