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

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.

>>>>As fate would have it only photons can travel at the speed of light. Electrons generally travel at a snails 🐌 pace.

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.

>>>>Visible light is photons. But all types of photons are not all visible light. Lots of other things are photons too, many have higher energies, some have lower energies. Everything in the electromagnetic spectrum is composed of photons. Radio waves, X-rays, gamma rays, infrared light, ultraviolet light, Schumann waves, extremely low frequency ELF, things of that nature. Visible light is a very small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
