Love it when it snows

Wow!! That is exactly how the super beings in Contact communicated with Earth! “Those are Prime numbers!” Then they sent the video of Hitler speaking at the 1936 Olympics to see if the guys and gals at the antenna array in the desert were on their toes. Then they sent plans for building a time machine. 

I like snowflakes, prime numbers, music, they are linked; and some other not so linked delicacies.... :)

Nope, with all due respect to Groucho, my audio system is also a time machine.

Last night I invited Billy Holliday into the listening room to transport me back to the live performance she did with the Gerry Mulligan Quartet at one of the Montreux Jazz Festivals.

I think I will side with you against dogmatic Groucho... :)

By the way I summon Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway at your recommendation in my own time machine and I thank you for that ...

The problem with time and audio is that the time coordinates when the recording was made are captured on the recording, just as a camera captures the time coordinates on the photograph. The problem arises when the recording is played back, at some point in the future. The time coordinates that are integral to the recording interfere with our natural internal “time clock,” which is always PRESENT TIME. The confusion in the brain over conflicting time coordinates degrade our perception of sound significantly. The real sound, the very good sound, is in the room but we just can’t hear it properly or completely.
