Hi George,

I did a whole raft of comparisons, see post #126301 - 2010-09-29 06:12 in this thread; including HS=N and using the ID40.

What I can't do and have not seen is an 808.3/CDROM v 808.3/ID40 critical comparison, but I recall someone posting that they could not distinguish between them; which is what I suspect.

Regards,
Carl
