Which is a very, very great pity for you, and others. There's all that gear out there, costing a small fortune, which could sound dramatically better, brilliant in fact, if only somehow it could be knocked into shape. Just about every other industry on earth knows that getting high quality elements connected togther in some physical way is only the start of producing an optimum solution, that one then has to spend time and effort in refining and understanding the subtle factors that influence the finer behaviours -- just imagine if the air force believed that you could buy instrumentation from one supplier, an airframe from another and the engine from a third, just bolt it together and it would work perfectly. Yeah, right ...Frank, you know what I pass on -- your tweaks. We agree that minimizing noise and distortion enhances improves imaging. We disagree on how to minimize noise and distortion.
