How Science Got Sound Wrong

Long after the game is over, the stands are clear, and the lights are turned off, geoff will still be screaming at the empty umpires chair about the call that the video replay clearly shows was out.

A gathering of goofballs. 😳 😳

ahofer,

To be clear, you mean the assertions in the linked article are not remotely accurate? I only ask that because people will read only the few words you wrote and hear what they want to think ;-)

That's correct.  Lots of highly credible, non-charlatan experts weighing in in the thread I linked.  It's certainly fine to prefer non-digital recordings, but not to have your own imaginary explanation of how digital recording and reproduction actually work.  The author is engaging in the latter.

And there's no way Neil Young can tell the difference between hi-res and redbook.  Even if he hadn't abused his hearing for decades.

Thanks you for linking that ahofer, I was rather appalled at the article, especially from someone espousing expertise, but the whole premise of the article is obviously outside his area of the article. Unfortunately, as you can see on this thread, while certainly there are people who understand this, and others who want to learn, others are just content to throw ad-hominems at anyone who pokes their bubble.

geoffkait,

"I never said I had a degree in Theoretical Physics."

Is it too late for you to learn the benefits of knowing when to stop?

Hint: If you get mad, do not respond until tomorrow. It works.
