Hi, everyone...

Scott Calner's a user on my board and I think he meant to post this here. ;)

Nay, my friend, it's not that they fail to recognize that brains are digital,
but rather that they do realize;
a) any system's fidelity is limited by the lowest resolution piece (great
recordings suck on lousy speakers, lousy recordings suck on Klipsch)
b) the a/d conversion at the cochlea is so prestine it's immesurable (though
the analog portion - the ears - do have considerable limitations)
c) music is high bandwidth communication.  It is far more than sine waves,
metaphysics and digital theory.  At it's ultimate, it's worship - and I don't
care if it's 128bit 96ghz digitally altered music CAN lose an ethereal warmth
that is often innate to analog or live stuff.

Don't get me wrong, digital audio has a place (I use it).. but by no means is
it altogether "better" than analog on all fronts.
