Our Response to recent Up Sampling Accusations

Lately it has come to our attention at HDTT that quite a controversy has erupted concerning the issue of upsampling in the community of computer audiophiles. Somehow, HDTT has been dragged into this controversy, and in order to clarify our position and with your indulgence, I'd like to attempt to explain a few points regarding this issue. At the same time, I would also like to take this opportunity to address certain false accusations which have been directed against us by a few individuals in the press and in the audio forums.

We are proud to offer Symposium Vibration Control Devices

Symposium vibration control is a major part of the reason why HDTT recordings sound as good as they do. Symposium's patented Rollerblocks, Energy Absorption platforms and other innovative devices are used in every part of the process of every HDTT release. During research and development of the HDTT process, we found that Symposium isolation products were of such importance in preserving the quality of the original tapes, that today, we wouldn't dream of making any CDs or DVDs without it!

Symposium Acoustics is honored that our products are employed throughout HDTT's superior mastering and playback chain to help bring superior music files and discs to music lovers around the world. If you're a fan of HDTT releases, then you are a discerning person with an ear for quality. Putting Symposium products to work in your own system will bring you even closer to the original musical experience!
