We differ in our beliefs. Mine is based on my experience with the equipment in my listening room, where everything else is indeed equal. Is your belief based on experience or expectation ? If based on experience I would be genuinely interested in hearing it. If on expectation I would urge you to listen to some equipment and tell me what you hear. I hear a wider, deeper and more focused soundstage; in short a more realistic depiction of spatial cues. Why aren't such cues preserved through analog digital conversions ? I can't say for sure, there can be multiple sufficient reasons. Spatial cues seem sensitive to timing. The better the clock and jitter reduction in a digital system (including initial sampling) the less such cues are perturbed. Other areas that make a real difference are avoiding triggering error correction algorithms and better voltage controllers and power supplies to avoid compressed dynamics. Analog systems have different challenges, isolation from vibration, especially fed back from the speakers, which is destructive of spatial cues, is a big one. Avoiding interference and noise in amplifying low level signals in the mV range is another. I don't find surface noise to be a big problem. I clean records between playing and have albums 30 years old that I have listened to every year.
The story had a line - Dealers would argue they have made a big investment and deserve to be protected.
A big investment in lobbyists, or directly to State legislators campaign funds ? Is this what Bill O'Reilly meant about people who 'want stuff' ?
Careful there, NRC. If you start assessing risks from unintended consequences as security threats it won't be too long before you're looking at obesity, a much greater risk to the population of the USA than either terrorism or climate change.
Record cleaners, the machines work very well. Surface noise can be easily avoided. Vinyl is more fragile than CD, but that doesn't mean the sound quality is necessarily worse. It's just a question of care. I use both. CDs for convenience, but vinyl for something truly special.
Here at Lagrangian Virtul Realty we offer solutions to the three body problem to suit all budgets. Missed L2 by 'that much' ? Check out the broad kidney shaped boulevards of L4 and L5.
Personally I'm ok with JPL sacking someone who believes in intelligent design because of their belief. Acceptance of an empirical verification mechanism seems central to the job. I'm also fine with a chaplain being sacked because he's an atheist.
Most PV installations have some space restriction. A collector that harvests more energy per area will produce more watts per $ provided that the cost of manufacture doesn't rise by more than the increase in efficiency. Prototypes don't have that constraint. Moving from prototype to mass production deserves a prize of its own; fortunately the Phonecians invented just such a prize many years ago.
Somehow you just know investigations of Iran's Passive Defence Organization are gonna run into its evil twin, the Passive Aggressive Organization: "No, it's fine ! I'm sure your suspicions are founded on solid evidence. We'll get right onto it. Take a ticket and wait for your number".
The Copenhagen interpretation of QM did invite conjecture that detail in the world was "sketched in" only when it makes a difference, and otherwise the wave function develops without using all the resources available. Saving cycles one cat sized object at a time.
I know a guy who still uses WordPerfect on a 386 dosbox. He uses another machine for emails etc, but whenever he drafts something it's on to the 386 and bang it's done. I wouldn't mind, but sometimes he's just so damn smug...

Ok, so Cockatoo's, Apes, Elephants and Dragonflies all use tools too. We're still the only species that hangs them on shadowboards.
I can't find you a blind test worthy of the name in a short search, but this page on Wikipedia is the result of hard won consensus editing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_analog_and_digital_recording

You mean like corner stores are protected from supermarkets ....?

Insightful but deaf. The difference between a well set up turntable of even average quality and an average CD player is not subtle.
Don't you guys have recall laws to deal with this sort of crazy ?
are the balance between ease of registration and objection/challenge and the length of the term. Do you like em light and fluffy or dark and charred ?

And that's why J. Edgar Hoover had to resign.....oh wait
The answer is not to get rid of unions in America, but to encourage them in China.
This is why we should all be training with weights in a knapsack.

AND it goes away every night. Who's to say it won't come back again one day if we keep sucking up all the light ?
Pffft, I had a car that had half that functionality 20 years ago. Driving OUT of the water though, that would be new for me.

Let's just hope the lawsuits don't cost so much that it interferes with whatever the sugar marketers pay to keep Stevia out of the market.
