Clarification request(s) and response
writeaway: 11:28 May 23, 2004: what "apparecchiature" are you talking about? more context is needed. -
GAR (asker): 13:19 May 23, 2004: Here is the whole sentence: "Lavabi sempre più simili a tavolini da salotto in vetro, rivestimenti eleganti e "d'immagine", apparecchiature ad alta sensitività.
Hope it helps
Many thanks once again

equipment/fixtures that can be precision-adjusted
Explanation:
just an idea-calling equipment highly sensitive can be negative-in other words, extra care is needed and that is not a good selling point. If it is a 'criticism' of the equipment (fixtures perhaps?), then I'd agree with the 'sensitive' version.
I may be way off here-just take it as a suggestion.

  -> I agree that it sounds good, but is getting away from the " ad alta sensitività", isn't it?
