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

That was my failed attempt to equate lawn service, and a UPS guy peeing.

It's 60 fucking degrees in here. I can't feel my fingers.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

I'd kill for 60 degrees.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

I could go sit in our datacenter, which is probably in the 60s.

 

[MotF Bane]

Finished with the usual website routine. So it's 8:10, and I'm bored.

 

[MotF Bane]

I'd kill for 60 degrees.

Sitting in 60 degrees, doing absolutely nothing?

 

[MotF Bane]

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.

 

[MotF Bane]

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.

 

[MotF Bane]

My boss thinks as much as ten higher usually.

 

[MotF Bane]

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.

 

[MotF Bane]

Of course, the control for this room... is located in another building a mile away.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Sitting in 60 degrees, doing absolutely nothing?

Yes, especially if I could recline back and take a nap.

 

[zzuupp]

since it was 80 outside at sunrise, 60 inside sounds nice.

 

[MotF Bane]

Nef.

 

[MotF Bane]

Yes, especially if I could recline back and take a nap.

You must be a warm-blooded individual.
