[Ti] Griffin iTrip - Review

[Jess Girard]

Hi Jason:

I have a cassette-player interface, too. In every place I tried (two cars 
and in my office) the fidelity using the cassette-player interface was 
superior to that of the iTrip.  A good friend used the term "poor dynamic 
range" when he listened and I think I agree with him. Again, the signal 
strength was quite low so maybe that's why it didn't make a better showing.

Here are the lines from my original message concerning fidelity. I've 
underlined the phrase "the fidelity was poor" but I'm not sure that this 
list server will pass the underlining.

Since I used that phrase three times in my original message and despite 
that you're asking about  fidelity, would it be paranoid to wonder whether 
you're pulling my leg?
