Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?


Just like those driving a Porsche SUV can join PCA (digital audio fans can join Audiogon) but are certainly not Porschephiles unless they also own a coupe (Panamera owners I guess gets a pass here).

Rauliruegas, I believe animal central nervous systems are analog computers. A neuron is not on or off. It can secret various amounts of neurotransmitter bases on how much it is stimulated by other neurons. This process is frighteningly slow. Electrons travel at the speed of light. Nerves conduct via charged molecules at 300 ft/sec.

Now we have a physics discussion....I thought photons are light. I studied engineering with only a years worth of physics....
EEG (Electroencephalogram) shows up as wavy (I.e., continuous) lines. """

that's because is the only way the printer works.
Close, partially correct, not complete. It is electrical activity that is picked up. Electrical activity of many cells at any given point in time. In practice, at that any given point in time there will be some (many) that are firing so the net-signal picked will appear continuous regardless of the way each individual cell is doing it (continuous/intermittent).

Also, thanks to advances in digital storage, does anyone still use printers for EEG? It is so 1980s.
