I am sick and tired of my headphone cable! I am planning on turning my ATP into a wireless unit, but I'm wondering which route is better: RF/stereo wireless or Bluetooth? I've heard a lot of talk about lag time being slow with Bluetooth, but most of that was from several years ago and I can't seem to find anything more recent. I would like to go Bluetooth since it allows more options and you can get it pretty much anywhere. I just don't want to get set up and find out I can't pin point easily because it's too slow sending the signal to my headphones. I am not opposed to the RF/stereo options, just wondering if Bluetooth technology has caught up enough to eliminate, or at the very least minimize, the lag time? Any info or advise would be greatly appreciated! HH

I had never used a wireless setup before, but after a few hunts with the WM10 system on the CTX, I am a fan.
