It may be, that if you really wanted to store digital information on vinyl, there is a more optimum choice of bandwidth vs SNR that could be used - rather than that used for analogue audio, which is naturally tailored to what we require to reproduce music. The reason you can hear audio below the noise threshold, is that the noise is random, and the brain is able to determine a pattern to the audio and filter out the random noise. Hence the fact that recordings with quite a lot of tape hiss, can actually sound quite good in music terms. -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34379 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
