How Science Got Sound Wrong


I don't believe I've posted this before or if it has been posted before but I found it quite interesting despite its technical aspect. I didn't post this for a digital vs analog discussion. We've beat that horse to death several times. I play 90% vinyl. But I still can enjoy my CD's.

Kinda curious.... what exactly is the most applicable technology hear, errr, here ?

Keeping in mind technology in the simplest form can be defined as....

the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry."advances in computer technology"
  • machinery and equipment developed from the application of scientific knowledge.
  • the branch of knowledge dealing with engineering or applied sciences.


Using resources to solve a problem (such as knowledge, skills, processes, techniques, tools and raw materials).
You cannot say Neil Young doesn’t have a way with words.

“When you hear real music, you get lost in it, he added, “because it sounds like God. Spotify doesn’t sound like God. No one thinks that. It sounds like a rotating electric fan that someone bought at a hardware store.””

”Low-quality streaming is hurting our songs and our brains.”

“I’m only one person standing there going, ‘Hey, this is [expletive] up.”

“The compressed, hollow sound of free streaming music was a big step down from the CD. “Huge step down from vinyl,””
So if that is indeed the situation would seem that the technology that would provide the solution would have to take "Le Gros Guy" into account.....read it would need an algorithm to adequately describe God ?

Wow that sounds complicated...which explains why we definitely need a real scientist or two, and some real science to solve that one....like real solid irreducible objective stuff and not that airy fairy subjective stuff that screams metaphysics and only relies on individual in situ observation ( cause we all know how unreliable that is...not at all like the sacred science which is perfectly objective and infinitely correct....well there was that unfortunately "Perfect Sound Forever" incident but that was just a, uhhh, errr, a small whoopsie....I mean the math was perfect and everything....)
