Unfortunately in audio the consumer format is the CD with 16bits and 44,100 Hz sampling rate. Its resolution is simply far too low to compare with analog. When you factor in the junk mastering/production of today it gets harder and harder to understand this too.

For a CD, I agree with Motf. I'll take the lower noise floor, and the expanded dynamic range over analog.

Is it live or is it Memorex? The CD format is square in the middle.

junk/mastering & production is exactly right. Let's not go to even more undersampled mp3's and the like

I'm wearing heavy socks, 8" boots, flannel-lined jeans, a long-sleeved shirt, and a hooded sweatshirt. And I'm turning into an ice cube.

Even if I were moving around and unpacking boxes and such, at 60, it's still going to be chilly. Most days it's another five to seven degrees warmer in here.

The heating system in the building has been going up and down all week, including hot water. The air conditioning was increased in some areas, unfortunately, that seems to have affected all parts of the building.
