Snake Oil Department, Top This

What's more, with modern production techniques music can very well be too clean. To the point of being unpleasant. Adding noise and little background things to "fill the void" is standard. Sometimes not even subtle. The "pad" sound category is there for "filling emptiness" by definition even.

I was curious about this, so I asked my friend Gustav Zillmän, who is a well known HiFi-guru in local circles, what I should do. He told me that small entities of noise are called noisette, and the best way to apply them to my system is to buy them in form of Creme de Noisette, which can be carefully applied to speaker binding posts to achieve the desired effect.

That would be nuts! Applying Crème de Noisette (Hazelnut butter? Nutella?) on the binding posts may attract squirrels. Definitely a Snake Squirrel Oil! :p

You are getting confused with "Alanis Morissette" I think. She is very friendly with squirrels and speaks to them.....

I prefer Electret Cream in my system.

EDIT: It's out of stock. Not sure how to make my system sound acceptable now!

All it is is that digital transmission is actually quite analog at the signal layer. No way you need perfect squares, it's just state changes, basically. And for high speed, it's not even binary, stuff like PAM4 has four different states so you can pack more stuff into the signal.

I am in no way a transmission level expert, analog is hard...

20 years ago, my signal corps sergeant: you must learn this. It is essential to our trade.

My electrotechnobass arse today: thank you sergeant. You were right.

idem for mandatory high school typing classes in the 70s.
We (boys) thought it was idiotic for us.
 
Z80 for me!

My dad was a development engineer at RFT (east German state owned electronic conglomerate) when they cloned the Z80 by cutting it open and looking at the die with magnifying glass.

I was wrong. Z80 was the first that I was paid to write assembler for - before that, 6800 & 6502!
