In Reply to: Comparison of a Raw Analog Audio signal to the CD audio and DVD audio output posted by Vinyleer on September 13, 2006 at 18:59:58:
Thanks, this information is so clear, well written that anyone can understand it.Tomorrow evening's update will have links to both articles “Is the sound on vinyl records better than on CDs or DVDs?” And “How Analog and Digital Recording Works by Marshall Brain” and the graph!
Thanks again!

"Thanks, this information is so clear, well written that anyone can understand it."As others said, too bad it is incomplete, misleading, and wrong.
"Analog is Music, Digital is mathematics"What's wrong with mathematics? Math can be outright beautiful.
tomorrow evening.Did you have a good cry?

...after their moniker/name, you certainly keep a tenaciuos grip on your beliefs and dogmas. You could try being a little more open minded to other peoples ideas, and maybe your dogmas could learn new tricks.It's your choice...you can continue to stomp on anyone that holds a differing opinion to yours, but at least put a smiley emoticon at the end of your verbal strikes. Makes it read more friendly and less venomous....
You're not venomous.....right ? ;^)
Everyone is free to believe whatever they want. I happen to believe what fits my own listening experiences. And those two articles Werner trashed describe analog and digital perfectly.Have you every seen my web site: analoglovers.com? It is not Digital friendly, I am not Digital friendly either. Digital does not play music for me and I do not give it lip service or a free ride. If you are able to enjoy digitized music that is fine, but do not push you preferences on others.

Tomorrow evening? So I'll have to wait till Monday for a good laugh?

At some point perhaps you'll see the difference, and tone down your rhetoric.
and what is the truth but a mental approach anyway? don't talk about the truth.digital is a 'sample' bit by bit. that about says it all. and that's the truth.
"and what is the truth but a mental approach anyway?"since this makes absolutely no sense in any phonetic, physiological or psychological way, it explains a lot about your attraction to Teresa.
"don't talk about the truth."
First, don't tell me what I can or cannot talk about. Last I checked, this is an open forum. Then, carefully read the order of the posts. That's it. Note how dear, dear Teresa brings up the "truth" issue. See how I was merely responding to her "mental approach" to the truth? There ya' go! Wasn't so hard, was it? Reading comprehension is an often overlooked skill!
"since this makes absolutely no sense in any phonetic, physiological or psychological way, it explains a lot about your attraction to Teresa."psychological and philosphical: truth is relative.
my apologies. I certainly respect your (and Teresa's) right to post your opinion(s) on this site.I think Teresa should corral her zealotry a bit-she seems to suffer no ones opinion but her own. That is what annoys me, not her enjoyment of the analog medium.
For my web site I search for the musical truth unlike the Digital brigade that does nothing but make excuses for why real world Digital doesn't sound as good as it is supposed to on paper.They cannot and will never fool me.

Not the truth, but what you are going to present as the truth
to a guy who, oh ...
-holds two master's degrees in related fields
-worked with turntable manufacturer John Michell
-designs his own anti-aliasing filters for CD production
-designs his own phonostages
-studied disk cutters and their circuits and problems into some detail
-studied music mastering practices (then and now) in some detail
-talks to cartridge designers from time to time
-talks to mastering engineers from time to time
-knows a thing or two about auditory perception (though not enough by far)
-is involved with digital and analogue design every day
-knows the sound of analogue and digital multitrack and mastering tapes in the studio
-knows the difference between objective facts and subjective preferences (both are valuable and valid)
-understands that 'audio' is one big misunderstanding
-has respect for analogue/LP's achievements, despite its drawbacks
-has respect for digital/CD's achievements, despite its drawbacks
-understands that the medium or technology is pretty irrelevant provided one uses high production standards and displays competence at the recording/mastering stages
Sweet dreams ...

you protest a little too much ...!
"the original waveform is recovered by smoothing the staircase with a low pass filter"To claim that Digital Audio does not recover an analog signal that is staircased is ludicrous. There is NO information between the samples in Digital, it is not continuous like analog.
As to the other claims made in those two well-written articles that even a layman could understand. You are free to disagree with them, personally I do not as they explain what I heard from Digital perfectly.
I choose to agree you are the one disagreeing with these two articles are you not?

you can believe whatever you want. If it makes you feel good. That doesn't mean it is the truth.The linked article is wrong sentence by sentence. There is barely a correct sentence in it.
But you don't care about that. It "feels" right to you.
Stick to reviewing music. Reviewing technical information is not a matter of opinion. That is what you don't seem to understand.
Also higher resolution digital was invented to increase the amount of samples per second to decrease the staircased recovered analog waveform. And the proof is high resolution digital does sound smoother than low resolution digital.Boy Oh boy sometimes you really take the cake, tunenut!
