Malarky.

Yeah, but if there's noise on the line from the computer, wouldn't the electrical connection "conduct" it through the source to the amp?

Don't. Dew. Et.

I am. And that's digital...how? A square wave is just as analog as a sine wave. I mean, define your terms. What is "digital"? It's not just pulse width modulation, or PCM or DSD or even hysteresis loops (analog tapes had to overcome hysteresis even when recording and playing back in analog), it's taking time-sliced samples of an analog signal and then representing them as numbers in a model. A true digital power source would be a zero value, followed by a half period-cycle of undefined value, followed by a zero-length timeslice of full-on, follwed by a half period-cycle of undefined value, followed by full off again (assuming two-stage values -- or perhaps it'd be "full on" followed by negative "full on"...whatever). Digital has no analogue in the real world, it's just a way for computers and other digitally-based storage media to convert continuous values into discrete numbers that are contiguous without being continuous. So I repeat, don't give me these "what if" scenarios without defining your terms. (And yes, I'm having just as much fun with this as you are.) (waves a shovel in Jacob's general direction)

Not a whole lot, here. Pretty happy with my system(s). A little bit of juggling (K501's and Radii HP-2 are primary work system), and I think the Xiang Sheng is new this year. But other than that, nothing.

Yeah, but have they ever been electrically connected to the CDP before?

Thanks for the info, this is exciting! Can't wait for Red.

"Which one of these is not like the other...?" Hot chick, hot chick, hot chick, hot chick, ...uh...hot?...uh...dude...

No, I meant power, as in AC from the wall. And yes, I know you're playing devil's advocate, I'm not falling for it.

Are you kidding? That's a webcam -- Jacob takes pride in his "work".

You can't get the flu from flu vaccine. You can get the flu after a flu vaccine, but it's not from the vaccine. My personal theory is that your defenses are down while your body plays "war games" with the dead cells. PS You asked how much it cost -- for me, it costs my deductible, which is like 5 bucks. There's another problem with the vaccines in the first place, which happened last year -- doctors aren't prescient. The ones who perform the research behind flu vaccines have to anticipate which particular strain is going to become prevalent in the upcoming season, and then create a vaccine against it. The effort is enough that they can only create vaccines against 2 or 3 strains at the most. If they guess wrong, then you get outbreaks anyway. This happened last season.

That one actually got me shoulders-jigglingly giggling.

Yeah, the combination of period-style writing and his rambling style make it a tough read, but it's worth it if you read the entire trilogy.

You're right, I was getting distracted into binaural recording territory by the fact that you were using a head. You were just using it for convenience for measuring headphones, I see that now. No, I don't think it has any impact whatsoever.

Yeah, it's probably some old lamb hag who smoked her whole life instead of some kid who was bathed in baby oil on a daily basis.

Earlier in the thread, I thought maybe his priorities were just of the type that resulted in him being extremely sensitive to digititis. But yeah, "thin"? I'm thinking there's an impedance mismatch somewhere, too. But if he wants to prefer analog, who are we to judge? Moar iPods for the rest of us!

What about "records"? I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. But alas, it will not be. Power will always be analog. Speakers will always be analog. Music, itself, will always be analog, even if it's an analogue of analog.

So you're saving up for this, right: Banner Backup?

And One, Aggressor -- synthpop at its German (Viva le Deutschland!) finest -- the guy has a serious Alan Wilder fetish, and a really nice singing voice that doesn't have that typical Austrian accent -- just enough to be pleasing without being overwhelming.
