I hate to admit this, but that is me into the wee hours of the night. I can't control myself. I need serious therapy. Or drugs. Maybe drugs would be the way to go............

minus the wow and flutter time domain issues of course...
Yes, but they do not say which time domain. Using the multiverse theory, what they say may be true in another dimension from ours. So, since it might possibly be true in different a universe time line, they run with it. Anything can be rationalized if you try hard enough. Well, and believe BS.

See, unlike digital, magnetic tape and plastic discs have infinite temporal resolution. That's why tape decks and turntables have infinitely better wow and flutter compared to digital's disgusting jitter.Audiogon is having a normal

Please excuse me bandage as I my aneurysm brain.
Setting aside the non-linear aspects, frequency response, and daily deterioration of tape (from both time alone and from running over playback heads), it always amazes me that audiophiles are certain that they can hear potential effects 100 dB down from the playing level if it's digital, yet tape print-through is of no concern whatsoever.
Obviously, we can't hope to hear as well as they do.Setting aside the non-linear aspects, frequency response, and daily deterioration of tape (from both time alone and from running over playback heads), it always amazes me that audiophiles are certain that they can hear potential effects 100 dB down from the playing level if it's digital, yet tape print-through is of no concern whatsoever.

True that... but condescension knows no boundaries.
Gotta think the condescension is mostly synthetic to rile people up.

Well... of course someone with limited experience might think that but such an assumption would be simplistic. It is clearly far too complicated to explain to anyone of... lesser education, you see?

Trolls aren't afraid to make the stupid assertions that team the internet. I guess they do everyone a favor by letting us debunk them.

Can we stop the circle jerk now?
Regardless of how high we think of ourselves and how low we think of others, it comes out as incredibly rude to belittle others like some here do.
I agree with the fundamentals of this forum and I also see believers and flat earthers as out there. But what I don't do is picking them apart on every opportunity.
I will probably get attacked by the group by writing this but so be it.

They're not going to see it, and it's fun to ridicule ridiculous, anonymous people who believe nonsense. No one gets hurt.
I agree that there are better uses of time, though.
But this is the circle jerk thread!
