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

Dear @cd318 : Excellent thread you started. Good.

that's because is the only way the printer works.

The EEG analysis try to measure the brain/neurones electrical  activity. It does not measures the barin chemical/neurotransmitter activity.

So, the study is taking the neuronal discrete impulses that are developed at high velocities as hundreds between two " points " eacg second time.
Maybe each impulse distance with the next one could be of ansgtons and the printer can't print it.

Btw, the research on MIT states that those kind of impulses are not all the same kind and has a binary characteristic/condition: onn/off, this is what we can read down there.

That's why in our inner ears we have that ADC mechanism: is the only way we can listen any kind of sound. We can't listen in the analog dominium ( that's unknowed by the human been. ) but binary one.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Ham gravy ain’t wavy. 😬

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. 

I'm also afraid that many people produce and love distortion. Do you listen to Jimi Hendrix? Some manufacturers also add distortion to their electronics to get a certain sound. So, I would say "Enjoy the Music Distortion and all!"

How about just enjoy the music, real or digital?
