Do you leave your components on 24/7?

Blah, blah, blah! Again- your being comprehensively challenged, has revealed itself. The very first paragraph of that treatise states, "Less appreciated, but no less important, is the
role it plays in determining the quality factor, or Q, of the capacitor. Dielectric absorption
has both storage and loss components that act, and are significant, over the entire
usable frequency range of the capacitor." That audio signals are much more complex, and their components more delicate, than anything that might pass a sample and hold circuit, obviously escapes you. Nor am I surprised that you do not understand how DA would relate to powering a circuit up and down. I believe I mentioned that, regardless of facts presented; I would not expect one such as you, to be convinced, in the least. It seems I have entered a battle of wits, with an unarmed individual. Enjoy, "The Last Word." You have become quite tedious.

paperweight- let me rephrase something: Make that, "Comprehensively comprehensionally challenged", just for clarity.

i sensed that your reading of the article was quite superficial - you should have read more of the article.

if you actually believe that audio signals are too "complex" and too "delicate" for sample and hold circuits, then i strongly suggest that you to do some investigation to find out how they digitize audio signals for cd's, vinyl, computer audio and other audio media. if you do it right, you'll be surprised at what you will find out...

i get the strong impression that you don't either.

"Blah, blah, blah! "

You could have stopped there The rest of your post was redundant.

Breaking Gnus! 

More bad Gnus. 15 million people at risk. Slow moving heavy rain storm, today through Friday, Texas to Arkansas. 25 tornados (count em!) and flooding hits the South. Ten states involved.
